JERUSALEM – Palestinian terror groups and security organizations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a United States source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olag Wiig, who were kidnapped here last summer, a senior leader of one of the groups suspected of the abductions told WND.

The terror leader, from the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, said his organization's share of the money was used to purchase weapons, which he said would be utilized "to hit the Zionists."

He said he expects the payments for Centanni and Wiig's freedom will encourage Palestinian groups to carry out further kidnappings.

Officials associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and its security organization, the Preventative Security Services, confirmed to WND money was paid for the release of the Fox News reporters.

A senior leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, the declared "military wing" of Fatah, said the group received a small percentage of the $2 million, which all parties interviewed said was transferred in cash.

A better course of action would have been to have Roger Ailes go on live and place a $2 million bounty on the kidnappers heads, quadrupled if Steve and Olaf were freed unharmed.

Probably an insurance company.

bingo. Watch 'proof of life'

[Political Junkie Too]

Where's the reference to Daniel Pearl?

Is the "balanced" counterpoint to this how Pearl was decapitated? Is the point-counterpoint supposed to be pay the terrorist or kill the journalists, except that we must forget about what happened to Daniel Pearl?

Or is it different for FNC journalists?

Five hundred thousand for Perky Katie, going once...

We'll, I'm willing to chip in $2 million if the terrorists promise to keep CNN reporters locked up. ;-)

I like your thinking, but that would cost a lot more. How would you like putting up with Wolf Blitzner, for instance, non-stop for months/years?:D

[COEXERJ145]

Seeing how this is from World Nut Daily, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

[JayNorth]

Well, the going rate now is 2 million for 2 Fox reporters, I wonder how much 2 CNN reporters will go for.


Oh Mr. Terrorist, come and get me.

I'll say, they know how dangerous it is going in, they go in for the thrills of being on the other side with the bad guys, I think, and then we PAY to get them out.

That is so disgusting!!

[B Knotts]

Maybe we could trick Greta into going by hinting that a young blonde girl has mysteriously disappeared in the Mideast. We'd never see her again.

If true.................BIG mistake.............

[SevenofNine]

No problem Nut I was wonder what happen to that story about fox news reporters but my brother told me long time ago after they release he was over my crib he said there got be more of the story

I think my brother is right

[Salvation]

Sad to see that Fox News Channel bowed to the pressures. I didn't think the Dept. of Defense and State Department let this take place.
