KBS correspondent kidnapped in Palestine
BREAKING NEWS: It seems that in the chaos of today’s goings on in Palestine the Middle East correspondent of Korean Broadcasting System, Yong T’ae-yông has been kidnapped. I wonder what Koreans will make of the British government’s rather odd decision to withdraw its monitors from the Jericho prison at 7.30 this morning, thus allowing Israel to raid the prison and set in motion the whole chain of events?
Update: While other hostages taken in Gaza and the West Bank have been released Yong T’ae-yong remains captive along with two French journalists in Khan Younis refugee camp. The Hangyoreh is reporting that they are being held by the PFLP which would make sense since it is their leader who the Israelis were after in their raid on the Jericho prison today. Oh My News is now reporting that according a representative of PA security forces they will be released within a few hours. The article also has pictures of the hostages looking rather pissed off. More on events at Al Jazeera.
Update 2: Oh My News reports today that the three journalists seized in Gaza have all now been released.
