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

Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes the rhetoric

Steve has also been reporting the news. Didn't realize he's also a camerman.

For those replying with the stupid: "I hope it's this person or that person" comments, PLEASE STOP.

I agree with you!!! It is turning my stomach the things some on FR are saying about VICTIMS of terrorism. We should be offering our prayers and support to those VICTIMS and their families instead of making tasteless jokes!

"Americans in trouble isn't a laughing matter."

Yes. EVERYONE should be concerned that United States citizens are involved...

Oh, I didn't doubt that it was a Fox news reporter. But this article says the reporter isn't American, that's all I was saying.

"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."

I'm sending out prayers and I also have been disgusted and disappointed with some of the earlier responses in this thread.
