The Prisoner Exchange


(Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center) Initial Report - Information about the first 450 Palestinian terrorists to be freed in exchange for Gilad Shalit: 110 will be released to Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem. Half will be subject to security restrictions. Among them are 57 Hamas terrorist operatives. During negotiations the final number of terrorists released to Judea and Samaria was reduced from 200 to 110. Most of the 6 Israeli Arabs to return to their homes have already served long sentences or are no longer young. 25 of the 27 women terrorists will be permitted to return to their homes. Two will be deported: Amna Muna, responsible for the seduction, abduction and murder of Israeli teenager Ofir Rahum, 16, whom she met on the Internet in 2001, and Ahlam Tamimi, who drove the suicide bomber who blew himself up at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem in 2001 in an attack that killed 15 people. Among those to be released in the first stage are 279 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment.
