Terrorists held by Israel say a thousand terrorists will be released soon for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, according to a Tuesday report by Al-Jazeera. The network's website said it received the information from Palestinian Authority family members who visited the prisoners. Families of Israeli Arab prisoners told Hamas they want to be in on the deal.
A senior Hamas member denied the report, saying that Hamas prisoners don't know anything about a deal. He said the report was another Israeli attempt to test Hamas and accused Israel of holding up any deal.
