From Times Wire Reports
Israel’s militia ally released one of Lebanon’s most prominent prisoners, a Communist woman who shot and wounded the group’s leader 10 years ago. After her release, Soha Bishara, 31, said she did not regret trying to kill Gen. Antoine Lahd, commander of the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army militia. Bishara was released after spending 10 years in the SLA-run Khiam detention center in Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon, including six in solitary confinement.
