The PA released two terrorists jailed in connection with a Tel Aviv suicide bombing in a conciliatory gesture intended to ensure the Islamic Jihad militant group abides by a truce, Palestinian officials said Friday.
The release was part of a package of gestures that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas made to the terrorist groups Thursday following days of renewed violence with Israel. Abbas also agreed to include the Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups in preparations for Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip this summer.
Khader Adnan, an Islamic Jihad leader, demanded that Odeh and Kob be allowed to return home and called for the release of the eight other prisoners in Jericho who were detained in the wake of the bombing.
The AP contributed to this report. |
