CNN worker abducted
GAZA, Sept 27: Armed Palestinians seized an Israeli Arab producer for the CNN television network from a car in Gaza City on Monday after asking for him by name.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. A CNN correspondent who was in the vehicle with the producer, Riyad Ali, said the gunmen gave no clue why they were taking his colleague away.
"We were going up a main street and a white Peugeot drove in front of us. A young man got out of his car, pulled a gun out of trousers and said ... 'Which one of you is Riyad,'" the correspondent, Ben Wedeman, said. "He said, 'I am Riyad,' and they said, 'Get out of the car'." -Reuters
