CNN Producer Kidnapped in Gaza

HeadlineSep 28, 2004

In Gaza, a CNN producer named Riad Ali was kidnapped yesterday and has not been heard from since. All of the major Palestinian groups have denied responsibility and called for Ali’s immediate release. A spokesman for Hamas condemned the kidnapping as a “violation of the rights of journalists and freedom of expression and goes against the true morals of our people.” A fellow CNN reporter said the operation was carried out by unmasked men armed with AK47s driving a Peugeot who confidently stopped the car carrying Riad, asked who inside the car was Riad and took him away.
