Hamas issues Johnston ultimatum
Oh-oh, Al. Don't look like this thing's gonna go down like you thought it would... Islamist group Hamas has told the Palestinian militants holding BBC correspondent Alan Johnston it will free him by force if they do not release him by the end of today. There's only one hitch with that book deal, Al. Ya gotta be alive to write it... Johnston was abducted by armed men in Gaza City on March 12 and Wednesday will mark his 100th day in captivity. Does he win a swell prize? Reuters quoted a senior Hamas official as saying: "If he is not released we would use all means to secure his life and to free him. Today is the last day for the captors to release Alan Johnston." Oh, I wouldn't worry, Al. I'm sure they won't come in blowing shit up and firing at anything that moves...including you.
