Alan Johnston appearance

After 105 days in captivity, Alan Johnston appears in a new video now, wearing what is claimed to be a bomb-belt. Here is a Swedish radio report also.

The captive Israeli solider Gilad Shalit was also heard in a soundbite today - one year into his captivity (whish was one of the triggers of last year's Lebanon war).

Really tragic is also the general downward spiralling in Gaza - which of course becomes more underreported by the day...

Shalit reapered yesterday as well, exactly a year after being taken hostage. Daniel Levy has a good piece on how this overshadowed the Sharm Summit yesterday. You know were to go to find it! Let´s hope for the Best both for Allan and Gilad!
