Samir Kuntar

Samir Kuntar (Arabic: ???? ????????) (born July 20, 1962 in Aabey, Lebanon), is a Lebanese who participated in a terrorist attack on Israeli civilians in 1979. He has been held in Israeli jails under a four-times-life sentence since his conviction in 1979 on charges of murder and terrorism, for killing 2 Israeli civilians and two Israeli policemen.

Hezbollah wants this 'hero' released from prison in exchange for an Israeli soldier they kidnapped.
