GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen kidnapped two foreign journalists working for the Fox News television channel in Gaza on Monday, a witness said.

The witness, a Palestinian who worked with the two journalists, said one of them, a producer, was an American, and the other, whose nationality he did not know, was a cameraman.

In a news report, Fox confirmed two employees had been abducted. It said it did not know who seized them but that "negotiations were under way to secure their release."

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction.

3. Negotiations?

So now Fox News approves of negotiating with terrorists. Won't republicans ever learn that we can't appease the islamo-stalini-fasco-terrorists?
