A previously unheard of Palestinian group, the Holy Jihad Brigades, claimed responsibility on Wednesday for kidnapping a Fox News cameraman and correspondent, Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported.

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.

The longer they have been held, the worse I feel it is for the hostages. I pray I am wrong.

Ditto, eyespysomething. I'm a tad relieved to hear that someone is finally claiming responsibility because prior to today, I was thinking that Centanni was probably already dead.

I wonder if they would take Mike Wallace and Katie Couric in exchange.

I doubt any screaming, wailing and gnashing of teeth will occur over any FOX reporters. Had they been cBSNBCNNPBSABBBC reporters, mass demonstrations would have erupted and 24/7 news coverage blaming Bush.

Have they offered any proof? Unless they prove these guys are alive-now-it's probably fake. I hope both of them are alive & well. But something seems "off" about it.

I sure hope so. It's unusual for this much time to pass.
