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
I remember thinking, "How cool and calm he looks, surrounded by hooligans in that hell hole."
Prayers going out for Steve and the cameraman. And continued prayers for the abducted Israeli soldiers.
DUmmies are terror-supporting traitors!
These Hezbos might just push the envelope too far.
These aren't Hezbos...it is Palestine.
Amazingly off the mark, not to mention black-hearted.
You see the difference between them and us now?
Thanks for the info; our fervent prayers for their safety are being sent up.
I was thinking the same thing. Centanni was kidnapped in Gaza- which might mean Hamas- or Fatah or who knows- but it's VERY unlikely that it's Hizballah..
Yeah. It never ceases to amaze me how cold and heartless some can be...
That's just evil. I could not stomach reading anything over there. As it is I'm feeling physically ill.
Thanks, Blogger.
they are nothing but a bunch of sickos over there. There is nothing funny about this at all!
Of course, did I give off a vibe that I actually like those people? Sure didn't mean to. But I'm as equally disgusted about people here saying the exact same stuff. And, I have to say, there are plenty of people in that thread telling the others to shut their pie holes.
That DU idiot, however, doesn't even know the difference between field reporter and anchor.
WHen are we finally going to say enough is enough and completely wipe out these evil animals? From politically correct airport security searches to a politically correct fought war...enough!!!!
Isn't this the same "Steve" that was out during one of our canes last year?
Shep Smith said nothing about it - and it's not on Fox's website yet..waiting for Fox to acknowledge.
