It's now 14 weeks since BBC correspondent Alan Johnston was kidnapped in Gaza. Given the events of the past week in which it seems Hamas has effectively destroyed the Palestinian Authority and the Fatah faction, it is a dangerous time for Johnston.
Hamas has apparently sent a message to the kidnappers demanding Johnston's release. You can keep up with the story by clicking on the picture of Alan on the right of the page.

I should also mention that I do like the odd, occasional martini. Bombay Sapphire gin and Lillet, dry and plenty of salty olives. Welcome to this cocktail of journalism and alcohol. A fine combination!

Palestinians know whereabouts of kidnapped BBC man: Abbas. 03/05/2007. ABC News Online
Agence France Press reported this week that kidnapped BBC reporter Alan Johnston is being held in Gaza and that the Palestinian authorities know where he is. Apparently they haven't launched a rescue operation because they are worried he'll be killed.
There's been no official or verifiable information about Alan since it was reported in mid-April that he was being held, or had already been killed by a little-known group called Tawheed & Jihad.
