Update on the kidnapped CNN producer I blogged on yesterday:



"Palestinian security forces have tracked down the Gaza kidnappers of an Israeli Arab producer for CNN television and expect him to be freed soon, an Israeli Arab legislator close to the Palestinian leadership said on Tuesday. 'After contacts between security agencies and the kidnappers it was decided that the journalist will be freed in a very short time,' said one security official."



I wonder who the kidnappers thought they'd pressure by capturing an Israeli Arab? And I'd love to know what those "contacts" consisted of.
