Seized Gaza journalists in video

Journalists 'well' A previously unknown militant group has released a video of two Western journalists who were kidnapped in the Gaza Strip nine days ago.
Olaf Wiig, 36, and Steve Centanni, 60, of US channel Fox News, were shown telling their families they were in "fairly good health".
A fax from the "Holy Jihad Brigades" to news agencies demanded the US release "Muslim prisoners" within 72 hours.
The US rejected the demands, and called for the men's unconditional release.
The two men were kidnapped in Gaza City on 14 August.
The video was sent to the Qatar-based TV news channel al-Jazeera TV.
The footage shows the two men seated on the ground side-by-side and cross-legged, in an apparently darkened room, dressed in tracksuits.
