Two Fox News journalists kidnapped in Gaza: witness (Update: see Post #193)

GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen kidnapped two foreign journalists working for the Fox News television channel in Gaza on Monday, a witness said.

The witness, a Palestinian who worked with the two journalists, said one of them, a producer, was an American, and the other, whose nationality he did not know, was a cameraman.

The Fox News bureau in Jerusalem said it was checking the report.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction.

The witness said two vehicles blocked the journalist's transmission truck in the center of Gaza City and a masked man put a gun to the bodyguard's head, forcing him to the ground.

The kidnappers then sped away with the two journalists.

Similar incidents in the past in Gaza have ended with the release, usually within hours, of kidnapped foreign journalists or aid workers.

Many of the abductions were carried out by Palestinians pressing a grievance against the Palestinian government or its security forces

Knowing Shep, (the Drama Queen), he would ask to be kidnapped.

I guess "The G-Spot" stands for Gaza..............

Red. No, no, no. Shep is usually in studio B, not studio G.

Funny you should mention that film -- it was on a couple hours ago.

MOl, I think Fox News would wait until the families have been informed.

I always thought that Gaza was much too dangerous for the kind of reports Fox News did. They would be on the main drag in Gaza, with no Israeli Soldiers in sight, with a bunch of Hamas thugs walking by and waving rifles.

Fox wouldn't do that in Lebanon, why was Gaza any different. My prayers to whoever got them. I am guessing they will be released after the $$$ ranson has been paid, as in the Jill Carroll case.

Jihad and greed are a powerful combination, dating back to the Barbary Pirates during the Thomas Jefferson era.

Of course, gel bras are a much more important story in Fox's mind.

Just out of curiosity, did they discuss whether or not those things are being allowed on airplanes?

Thank you for saying that.

Too many idiotic comments being made....

If true - someone (more than one) is going through hell.

No time for stupid humor.

Doesn't this picture just scream, "I am soooo gorgeous and cool." At least in A.C.'s mind.
