Unknown group claims kidnap of Fox reporters, issues ultimatum
By News Agencies
A previously unknown militant group in Gaza on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the kidnapping nine days ago of two Fox journalists, and demanded the release "Muslim prisoners" within 72 hours.
"Release what you have, and we will release what we have," the Holy Jihad Brigades said in a fax sent to reporters.
Fox correspondent Steve Centanni, an American, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, from New Zealand, were snatched from their TV van near the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City on August 14 as they were working on a story.
I didnt know Fox news compony was holding Palestinian prisoners.... These people are not too smart, they keep hurting the very people who are trying to help them, shooting themselves in the asss........
