Last update - 18:53 24/06/2008 Hamas prisoners freed in West Bank, despite PA pledge to Israel By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Palestinian Authority, Hamas  The Palestinian Authority has in recent days released at least three Hamas prisoners, as part of an agreement between Fatah and its rival faction to reconcile after a year of fighting. The decision was made despite the Palestinian Authority's promise to Israel. The militants were imprisoned in the Authority on suspicion of attempting to attack within Israel and the West Bank. The rival factions had agreed that Hamas would free Fatah prisoners in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of its own detainees in West Bank.
