JERUSALEM: In what is being dubbed as a bad precedence, Palestinian terror groups and security organisations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a US source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, who were kidnapped here last summer, a senior leader of one of the groups suspected of the abductions, reports WorldNetDaily.
The terror leader, from the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, said his organisation's share of the money was used to purchase weapons, which he said would be utilised "to hit the Zionists".
He said he expects the payments for Centanni and Wiig's freedom will encourage Palestinian groups to carry out further kidnappings. Officials associated with Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and its security organisation confirmed that money was paid for the release of the Fox News reporters.
They are a private company, not the US govt.
I don't respect their paying money to these animals but what am I going to do about it. Would you rather they do a Ross Perot and hire and train some mercs to get the people out.
