Hamas put a staged 24-second video on You Tube Monday in which abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit apparently appears as a silhouette reminiscent of the image from the video where he was seen talking from his place of captivity about a year ago.
Standing at his side in the new video are two masked people, one of them armed. He takes a gun and points it at the silhouette and the screen goes black. Then the sound of the weapon being cocked and a number of shots are heard. A message then appears on the screen asking, "Will the mission be completed?"
