Slightly different facts in the Daily Telegraph:

Britons kidnapped in Gaza Strip
(Filed: 28/12/2005)


Three Britons have been kidnapped as they entered the Gaza Strip from Egypt, the Foreign Office has confirmed.

A 25-year-old woman is understood to have been showing her mother and father around the town of Rafah when they were abducted.

Reports suggest the young woman was working for a humanitarian organisation.

The Foreign Office confirmed that there had been a kidnapping but their identities and the details of the abduction remain unclear.

"We are in a position to confirm reports of three Britons missing in the Occupied Territories," a spokesman said. "At this stage we have no further details."

Palestinian witnesses and security officials said the three British citizens were kidnapped at the southern Rafah crossing, which the Palestinians recently gained partial control of after striking a deal with Israel.

The Britons were said to have been bundled into a white Mercedes by the kidnappers and security officers were searching the area.

It was reported that the woman worked at the Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights.

The incident was the latest in a series of abductions in Gaza that has undermined Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's attempts to establish order in the coastal strip following Israel's withdrawal this summer.
