(111012) -- NABLUS, Oct. 12, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Palestinians hold pictures of their relatives held in Israeli jails during a rally in support of them in the West Bank city of Nablus on Oct. 12, 2011. Hamas Politburo chief Khaled Mashaal headed to Cairo Wednesday to complete a prisoner swap deal with Israel, according to a statement posted on Hamas website. In a televised speech broadcasted late Tuesday by the Syrian TV, Mashaal said 450 Palestinian prisoners will be released within a week and the rest of 1,027 prisoners two months later according to the swap deal that secures the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit held in captivity since 2006.
