Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Tuesday ordered to delay the release of 77 Palestinian prisoners after two suicide bombings killed two Israelis and wounded more than ten, senior government sources said, according to the AP.  

 

A bus bearing prisoners had earlier left a prison in northern Israel headed for a West Bank checkpoint where they were planned to be freed Tuesday afternoon.  

 

Most of the prisoners had been arrested for staying in Israel without work permits. (Albawaba.com)
