Hamas politician freed by Israel

(01:37) Report

Jun. 20 - A Hamas politician has been released from an Israeli jail two years after he was arrested.

Plans to prosecute Bassam al-Zahari were dropped due to "reasonable doubt," a military spokeswoman said.

Israeli forces seized Zahari and other Hamas politicians in the West Bank after a soldier, Gilad Shalit, was abducted to the Gaza Strip by the Islamist faction's gunmen on June 25, 2006.

Sonia Legg reports.
