Palestinian gunmen in the Gaza Strip kidnapped a Knight Ridder
correspondent and a British photographer working with him Wednesday but
surrendered them to Palestinian Authority security officials after
almost six hours. Dion Nissenbaum, Knight Ridder’s Jerusalem bureau
chief and a US citizen, said neither he nor freelance photographer Adam
Pletts was harmed.

The kidnapping was the latest in a string of abductions in Gaza in the
past several weeks, apparently aimed at winning modest concessions from
the Palestinian Authority. All have been resolved within hours.
