Masked gunmen have kidnapped two 'foreigners' according to the Palestinian security service.
The two victims, whose nationality is still unknown, were dragged from their car and taken away. It isn't known who is responsible, it is also not known if it is in relation to the recent Danish cartoon pictures of Mohammed
The two people removed in Gaza are Palestinians
GAZA - the two removed people Saturday by men armed masked in the center with the Gaza Strip are not foreigners but Palestinians kidnapped by error, one learned from Palestinian sedentary sources.
These two people were captured on board their vehicle whereas they circulated on a road of the locality of Deir Al-Balah, according to same sources'.
They were confused with foreigners, that Palestinian armed groups threatened "to take for targets" as a sign of protest against the publication in Europe of caricatures of Mahomet.
They were always between the hands of their kidnappers in middle of morning, indicated the same sources.
Nothing about any kidnappings, but more unrest on Gaza:

Gazans storm German center, stone EU building
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
About two dozen Palestinian protesters stormed the German cultural center in Gaza City, smashing windows, breaking doors and burning the German flag, to protest cartoons deemed insulting to the Prophet Muhammad.
Down the street from the cultural center, about 30 Palestinians threw stones at the European Commission building, also to protest the cartoons, before police brought them under control.
About 50 schoolchildren and teenagers gathered at one corner of the street to try to resume the attacks on the two buildings, but Palestinian riot police, armed with batons, pushed them back. The youths threw stones at the police, and then fled.
The cartoons, which have created a furor across the Muslim world, were first published in Denmark, and then in newspapers elsewhere in Europe in a show of solidarity with press freedoms.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update Hal
What a wonderful people. Will the libs march in protest of free speech with the Pals on this one? Where's Cindy? She needs to get in on this!
Yesterday there were demonstrations in London. Islamist hailning the terror bombers on the underground and predicting (and wishing for) a European 9/11. Apparently other Londoners were upset by this, but the demosntrators were protected by the police, who did not arrest any of the masked terrorist supporters.
PC is getting worse and worse.

Hey white boy, you go to Gaza about now, you deserve to get kidnapped.
what??? why???
If you are any kind of a sane westerner and you go there you have to have a clue that you are going to be a target. Oh! but I should be able to go anywhere?
Good, go.
Don't worry, they can still count on self-loathing Western leaders to give them their stipend.
