Fox News Journalists kidnapped in Gaza
There are reports that two journalists for Fox News have been kidnapped.
There are reports that two journalists from the U.S. Fox News television channel have been kidnapped by armed men in Gaza.
An American correspondent and an Irish cameraman were reportedly seized after gunmen intercepted their car in Gaza City, witnesses told news agencies.
The Fox TV team’s Palestinian driver and two other journalists were set free. No group has yet claimed responsibility for kidnapping the pair.
A Palestinian witness reportedly told news agencies that two vehicles blocked the journalist’s transmission truck in the centre 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.
The Fox News bureau in Jerusalem said it was checking the report.
Reuters reports essentially the same story.
