GAZA, June 18 (Reuters) - Hamas issued an ultimatum
on Monday to those holding BBC journalist Alan Johnston
in Gaza, threatening to free him by force if they don't
release him by the end of the day.

"If he is not released, we would use all means to secure
his life and to free him," a senior Hamas official told
Reuters of Johnston, who was abducted in Gaza on
March 12.

1. Hamas should not be rewarded for playing hostage negotiator

As terrible as it may be, I do not think Hamas should be rewarded nor praised for any efforts to get this man released. For all we know, one of their fighters or off-shoots could be responsible itself. Give the man back or face the consequences of a new economic siege like nothing seen before.
