Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Paleos (More or Less) Seek 2 Kidnapped Reporters
2006-08-16
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Palestinian security forces hunted for two abducted Fox News journalists Tuesday, and the Palestinian president and prime minister intervened in an attempt to gain their release. President Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the Hamas-led government, scheduled meetings with the news organization's Jerusalem bureau chief, Eli Fastman, and its chief correspondent in Israel, Jennifer Griffin.
"We'll try to help, but you have to remember you're an infidel."
The prime minister assured the Fox News representatives that Palestinian security forces would use all their power to "put an end to it soon," said government spokesman Ghazi Hamad said, without elaborating. Investigators said the president's office was closely following the probe into the abduction.

American reporter Steve Centanni, 60, and New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, were seized by masked gunmen Monday near the headquarters of the Palestinian security services.

No one has claimed responsibility for kidnapping, and police said no demands have been made. Major militant groups denied any connection to the abduction.
I'm beginning to wonder whether this is a kidnapping or a murder.

#5  Cintani is 60??? Jeebus, he doesn't look his age. On a serious note, this should be a VERY bad move on the Paleos part as it relates to the U.S. We should be hunting them down ourselves. Of course, the MSM would be whining, "Lookie, the President is trying to rescue a Fox News reporter and camerman. Bet they wouldn't do that for us CNN-folk!"

#4  The prime minister assured the Fox News representatives that Palestinian security forces would use all their power to "put an end to it soon

Unfortunately, he added, we dont have any real power... we are just poor palestinian puppets run by the extremist branch of Hamas and by Haled Mashaal (remote controlling us from his bunker in Damaskus) and we are eager to do our masters wish.
Allan' who Ackbar ?

Unfortunately, by "it" he meant Israel.

#1  I got an idea. Bomb Gaza into rubble, then napalm the ruins. Then, nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure.
