Via Reuters: Gaza group claims kidnapping of Fox journalists
[…]
The group did not say what would happen to the two journalists if the United States did not meet their demand to release Muslims in American prisons by the time the deadline expires on Saturday.
“If you implement our conditions we will implement our promise, otherwise you will have to wait,” the statement said.
Odd that it took this long to make demands.
Also sad is that this story has been largely ignored because kidnapping in the region isn’t a big story anymore, given that the novelty has worn off. Between the fatality rates in Iraq and the threat of kidnapping, one wonders what is going to happen to new coverage in the region. As it stands the kidnapped crew was only one of a handful even covering Gaza.
