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

Here's another possibility: Hamas may have kidnapped them in order to stage a rescue that might then garner some good publicity. I wouldn't put anything past those psychos.

"eyespysomething heard Steve Harrigan!"
Who watches FOX enough to know whether Harrigan is even a possibility (to rule out any misreporting)? I don't recall Harrigan being in Gaza.

I like Shep too.
Speaking of Shep, he hasn't mentioned anything about this..so I have my doubts about the Drudge report.

Released? That's some quick negotiation.Or someone wandered off the reservation in grabbing them.
Hope it's true.

I heard a rumor that Mike Tobin was ex-military? Anyone know?No clue. Greg Kelly is the only one I know for sure about. He was a Marine Harrier pilot.
