A previously unheard of Palestinian group, the Holy Jihad Brigades, claimed responsibility on Wednesday for kidnapping a Fox News cameraman and correspondent, Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported.
American correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand were kidnapped Aug. 14 from their TV van near the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City. Although Palestinian militant groups have often seized foreigners, including members of the media, this is the longest any have been held.
Joining you in prayer, JFC.
Hopefully the Palestinian government can find or knows who these people are and can bring some pressue on them to release Wiig and Centanni.
This is a nightmare.
FOX is handling this so well- walking a tightrope.
If they harm them I say we wipe out Gaza and all of southern Lebanon and then say "touch another American and we wipe out the entire middle east"That will work.
Better to become contagious in 72 hours, show symptoms in 120 hours, and fatal in a week.
