Quote:
Palestinian gunmen have reportedly kidnapped two foreign journalists working for Fox News, a news company owned by parent-company News Corp.

A Palestinian witness who worked with the journalists, said that American producer Steve Centanni, and Olaf Wiig, a cameraman from New Zealand were taken aganist their will.

New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman Helen Tunnah said that the ministry had not received any information on the kidnapping.

Fox News said that they did not know who captured the journalists but said that "We can confirm that two of our people were taken against their will in Gaza," and that "negotiations were under way to secure their release."

The incident began when two vehicles allegedly blocked the transmision truck, and their bodyguard was reportedly forced to the ground at gunpoint by a masked man.

The alleged kidnappers then sped away with the journalists.

Palestinian police stopped and searched cars. Hamas, the Islamic miltant group that heads Gaza's government, did not claim responsibility, and condemned the kidnapping. There are no claims for responsibilty at this time.
