Fox News jouranlists Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig were released after weeks of being held in Gaza.
From the CS Moniter:
Uncertain is an understatement. It's clear the Palestinian Authority or Hamas or both know exactly who organized the kidnapping. It's also apparently clear that they intend to keep the kidnappers anonymous.The two men, elated and emotional after their release, told reporters at a brief press conference at the Beach Hotel in Gaza, where they had just been dropped off, that they hoped that their kidnapping would not keep other foreign journalists from coming to Gaza to cover the Palestinian story.
But their kidnapping and the uncertain events that led to their freedom has already caused most news organizations to keep their international staff out of Gaza and brought calls to reassess how to cover the story safely.
Clearly, the kidnappers were not exactly making things better for the larger campaign against Israel and it wouldn't be a stretch to find that a friend of theirs in the Palestinian government provided several assurances.
