Kidnapped Gaza journalist freed
A Spanish photographer who was kidnapped in the Gaza Strip has been released, it has been confirmed. Emilio Morenatti, 37, who works for the Associated Press news agency, spent less than a day in captivity. He was seized by gunmen who emerged from a white Volkswagen car, after he left his flat in Gaza City.
The photographer, who has been taken by Fatah officials to the office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said he was tired but unharmed. It is still not clear who held him or what their motive had been.
A Hamas spokesman also condemned the kidnap. He was said to be on his way to an early-morning assignment. Over the last two years or so, there have been about 24 cases of foreigners being kidnapped in the Gaza Strip.
