VIDEO OF KIDNAPPED BBC REPORTER SHOWS HIM WEARING EXPLOSIVE BELT
BBC reporter says will be killed if captors stormed
GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said on Sunday that the kidnappers of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston have made a new video of the abducted journalist wearing what appeared to be explosives around his waist.
Haniyeh, prime minister of the Hamas-led government sacked by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, disclosed the video of Johnston in his first major speech since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip just over a week ago.
“In the past they showed him in an orange uniform. Today they showed him with an explosives belt round his waist,” Haniyeh said.
A Palestinian source close to the negotiations confirmed the existence of a new tape showing Johnston wearing an explosives belt. The tape has not been aired publicly but the contents were shared with Haniyeh.

SUCH GOOD PEOPLE. LET'S GIVE THEM A STATE!
