GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Two FOX News journalists were released by their kidnappers Sunday, nearly two weeks after they were taken hostage in the Gaza Strip.
The freeing of FOX correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, ends the longest-running drama involving foreign hostages in Gaza.
Centanni, in a phone interview shortly after his release, said "I'm fine. I'm just so happy to be free."
He said he was so emotional because he was out and alive.
"There were times when I thought 'I'm dead,' and I'm not," Centanni said. "I'm fine. I'm so very happy." full story

Two kidnapped Fox journalists appeared on a new videotape
Thats what is being reported out of Mooslim land this morning. Hopefully this video purporting to show the 2 men converting to Islam is propaganda that they will be denouncing upon their release as the journalist Jill Carroll from Christian Science Monitor did upon her release from her captivity by a similar group of animals.
Then again, we all know how trustworthy anything coming from the mouth-pieces of the collective community in the middle east can be, since even the PA leadership/ government are terrorists for the most part themselves. But hopefully in this case they will keep their word.
Should these men be released unharmed let's hope that all journalists with the exception of Al Jazeera will give a second thought about venturing into these areas in the future to "get out the word of the palestinians", as this is how these pigs treat their guests and they do not deserve the privilege of the western media access after this episode.
GAZA (Reuters) - Two kidnapped Fox journalists appeared on a new videotape released by their captors on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, in which the reporters said they had converted to Islam, the Fox News Channel said.
Palestinian Interior Minister Saeed Seyam said efforts were under way to secure within hours the release of Fox correspondent Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American, and New Zealand-born cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36.
Both journalists appeared to be in good health in the new video. They were seized on August 14.
They were shown separately sitting cross-legged, reading a statement which Fox said was an announcement that they had converted to Islam. At times in the video they were wearing long Muslim robes. full story
