Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has aparently suspended all releases of Palestinian prisoners following this morning's double terror attack.

According to news reports, all 77 prisoners who were set for release today will be kept in Israeli prisons, until further notice.

The directive was issued after the prisoners had already been loaded onto buses for their rides home. The buses turned around and returned to the prisons, according to news reports.
