Kidnapped BBC Correspondent Alan Johnston: Israel To Blame For Palestinian Suffering

The Palestinian Jaysh Al-Islam organization, which claims to be the kidnapper of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston, has circulated on Islamic websites a video in which Johnston claims that he is being treated well by his abductors, accuses Israel of causing suffering to the Palestinian people, and condemns the U.S. and Britain for their activity in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At the end of the video, the organization reiterates its demand that Britain release the Muslim prisoners it is holding, first among them Abu Qatada Al-Falastini.
