Congress Demands U.S. Prosecution Of Hamas
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Congress has demanded that the administration of
President Barack Obama order the prosecution of scores of Hamas operatives
released by Israel in October 2011.
In a letter, 52 members of the House called on Attorney General Eric
Holder to launch the prosecution of freed Hamas operatives who had been
convicted of attacks on Americans. The letter, sponsored by Reps. Howard
Berman and Joseph Walsh, said more than a dozen Palestinians freed in the
Israeli prisoner exchange were involved in suicide and other attacks on
Americans.
