Hezbollah handed over two black coffins Wednesday with the bodies of two Israeli soldiers and Israel prepared to set free a notorious attacker in a dramatic prisoner swap that will close a painful chapter from the 2006 war in Lebanon. In Israel, family and friends outside the homes of the Israeli soldiers burst into tears when TV images showed Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas taking the coffins out of a black van.
