Okay Four Fingers, your going to have to give us further sources for that story. I haven't yet been able to find a reference to him being one of 200 "unsuccessful terrorists" released in a peace deal.
One reference that I did find stated:

Hamdan, a resident of the West Bank village of Tabeka, was released from an Israeli prison on July 28 after serving nearly 14 months on a conviction of intending to carry out a terrorist attack, according to an Israeli security source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

One specific reference I found to 200 prisoners being released 2 months ago was this LA Times article dated July 28, 2003.

Note the following line from the article:
Quote:

An Israeli government spokesman emphasized that none of the militants to be released had been involved in terrorist attacks, murders or kidnappings of civilians.

I have been able to find no reference to 1) him participating in a terror attack, 2) him even being one of the 200 prisoners released in a deal or 3)"almost all" of the 200 prisoners released being involved in terror attacks.
These are the key points on which this whole thread is based.
