Families of Kidnapped Journalists Plea for Their Release

HeadlineAug 21, 2006

The families of the two journalists kidnapped last week in Gaza have pleaded for the release of their loved ones. Fox News correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig were kidnapped a week ago.

  • Anita McNaught, Olaf Wiig’s wife: “… He and Steve were here because they wanted to be here, because as journalists they wanted to tell the Palestinian story. He cares about the Palestinian people. He is in the hands of the Palestinian people. But because of what has happened to him, we are all hostages now. We are all in jail. It is so destructive. This achieves nothing.”
