Fox News Crew: Still Missing
UPDATE: Video shows news crew alive, and asking for release.
American reporter Steve Centanni, 60, of the San Francisco area, and Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand were grabbed from their TV van not far from the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City on Aug. 14.
In the video, the men sat on the floor in sweatsuits and appeared to be in good health. No armed men were seen.
Centanni said, “Our captors are treating us well.” He said they get showers, food, water and access to bathroom facilities.
“I’m here and alive and give my love to my family and friends and ask that you do anything you can to try to help us get out of here,” Centanni.
====================
Fox News Channel reporter and New Zealand based freelance photographer Olaf Wiig are still missing in the Middle East.
There’s been precious little reporting of this story in the MSM, probably because there appears to have been little progress in the story.
But both Michelle Malkin and Captain Ed note that “no news is news” in this case. While the situation does not look good, we can hope and pray for their eventual release.
And yes, to the Captain’s point, we do consider the kidnapping of journalists a more serious threat to liberty than the travails of the JonBenet Ramsey case and many of the other stories now occupying center stage.
