Army of Islam: Hamas Is Holding Captured Israeli Soldier
[Ha'aretz] Army of Islam deputy commander Abu Mutha'ana told Israel's Channel 10 television Wednesday that it had transferred IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit to the full control of Hamas. "We kidnapped Gilad Shalit and handed him over to Hamas," he said. A high-level security source said Shalit was handed over in exchange for large sums of money and weapons. Miri Eisin, a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Olmert, called on Hamas to free Shalit immediately. "The Hamas that brought about Alan Johnston's release is the same Hamas that abducted Gilad Shalit," she said.
