Who did Olmert release? (UPDATED)

The Dry Bones Blog tells us:

It would be in the following year (1979) that Samir Kuntar (what the press would call a Palestinian "activist" or perhaps "fighter") kidnapped an Israeli and his 4-year old daughter. He dragged them to the beach where he shot and killed the father in front of the little girl so that it "would be the last thing she ever saw". He then "smashed the child's head on a rock with the butt of his rifle".

The story is retold by an Egyptian Blogger. You can read it here.

Yesterday, Samir Kuntar was released from prison as part of Olmert's insane "Prisoner Exchange" ...in return for the remains of murdered Israeli soldiers.

Kuntar is now being turned into a hero across the Arab World ...and was referred to by the Western Media as "Israel's longest-held prisoner".

A piece of news you probably missed had you tuned in to your regular MSM outlets. 

Might be worth passing on.

Here's hoping the Israelis have Kuntar targeted for assassination and that it happens sooner rather than later.

UPDATE: AllahPundit at Hot Air has video of Kuntar's welcome home:
