Via Fox News: Report: Palestinian Group Claims Kidnapping of Journalists
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A previously unheard of Palestinian group, the Holy Jihad Brigades, claimed responsibility Wednesday for kidnapping a FOX News cameraman and correspondent, Al-Jazeera reported.
The Palestinian news agency Ramattan said the group set a 72-hour deadline to swap them for Palestinian prisoners.
American correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand were kidnapped Aug. 14 from their TV van near the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City.
Although Palestinian militant groups have often seized foreigners, including members of the media, this is the longest any have been held.
**UPDATE** Video Tape released by Al-Jazeera and played on Fox News.

**UPDATE** Al-Jazeera.net: Deadline set for abducted Fox men
From the moment this news was released, I was fearful that this may be a propganda video for this unknown group of Allah lovin'nuts, Holy Jihad Brigades to get word to Al-Qaeda or some form of recongnition as another radical Muslim group. We must continue to pray for their safe release very soon and no harm will come to them.
