Thought: So, this was announced by Fox? Do I believe it?
Thought: "Journalists"? Since when?
Thought: Did they go over to al Jazeera? Would alJazeera have them?

Two journalists abducted in GazaGunmen have abducted two journalists working for the US Fox News television channel in the Gaza Strip.
The crew's Palestinian driver told security officials their car was stopped in Gaza City on Monday evening.
Gunmen ordered the two foreigners into another vehicle and they were driven away, he said. There is no indication yet as to who may be responsible.

Palestinian security officials have said police are searching for the journalists, thought to be a cameraman and an American reporter.
"We can confirm that two of our people were taken against their will in Gaza," Fox News said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press news agency.
