GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip: A previously unknown Palestinian group said Sunday it had killed a British journalist kidnapped over a month ago by gunmen in Gaza City, but the claim could not be confirmed.
In a statement sent to news organizations, "The brigades of Tawheed and Jihad" said it killed BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston, 42, to support demands for the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. However, the BBC and the Palestinian government both said there was no evidence to back up the claim.
"The BBC is aware of these reports," the corporation said in a statement. "But we have no independent verification of them."
The group claiming to have killed him is unknown in Gaza, but the name has been used elsewhere in the Middle East by organizations linked to al-Qaida.

There has always been ONLY ONE solution to the Palestinians and their actions. Nothing has changed.
But the BBC along with the UK gov, will admit guilt and apologize for making the PALS kill this man.....
Have the French surrendered yet?
How much aid do the Brits give to the Palis?
Mass transfer. Many think about it, but few talk about it. The only solution that has a chance of working.
Anybody heard from that Irish group who loves the Palestinians so much lately ? Come to think of it,it was a British journalist who they murdered,so I’m sure the Irish group still loves em !!!
This is “new” in a bad way from the Palees, if this reporter is dead, then the Palestinians should be held accountable for that.
I doubt that will happen, I still remember the Palestinians dancing in the street after being told of the 9/11 attacks, they were dancing and holding up signs of OBl and doing the tongue thing.
insert four letter word >here< the Palestinians
Bubububut...

Britian’s National Union of Journalists has voted at its annual meeting for a boycott of Israeli goods as part of a protest against the Second Lebanon War, the British daily Guardian reported on its Web site Friday evening.
The vote was carried 66 to 54 - a result that met with mixed responses from the NJU delegates present.
The motion came during a series of motions on international affairs and read: “This ADM [annual delegate meeting] calls for a boycott of Israeli goods similar to those boycotts in the struggles against apartheid South Africa led by trade unions and the TUC [Trades Union Congress] to demand sanctions be imposed on Israel by the British government and the United Nations.”
The motion was originally brought by the union’s South Yorkshire branch in February and was opposed by the Cumberland branch, which said it was too political and was not closely enough related to journalistic matters.
After a show of hands twice failed to give a clear result, union scrutineers were called in and the doors to the conference room closed.
The vote on the motion was taken after it was split from a larger motion that condemned the “savage, pre-planned attack on Lebanon by Israel” last year.
This motion, known as Composite B in Order Paper 4, was carried by a large majority and also condemned the “slaughter of civilians by Israeli troops in Gaza and the IDF’s continued attacks inside Lebanon” following what the motion defined Israel’s “defeat” by Hizbullah.
The motion called for the “end of Israeli aggression in Gaza” and other territories inhabited by Palestinians. The Yorkshire branch of the NJU neglected to mention in its motion either the fact that Israel was keeping a ceasefire with the Palestinian Authority, despite the fact that southern towns in Israel were, and still are, sporadically fired upon with Kassam rockets.
Also absent from the motion was any mention of the hundreds of civilians bombarded with projectile rockets for over a month in the summer of 2006.
Israel’s casus bell - the kidnapping of IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in a cross-border raid on July 12, was also missing from the motion. Six other reserve soldiers were killed in Hizbullah’s carefully-orchestrated attack, which started the war.
Israel unilaterally withdrew from Lebanon in 2000 when MK Ehud Barak was prime minister. At the time, IDF forces were forced to withdraw under heavy Hizbullah fire.
Correxct, and the BBC gives them (still) morale aid.
I wonder if the journalists will ever figure out - THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO LOSE THEIR HEADS - if we lose the war against the terrorists ..??
