Kidnapped Peruvian Journalist Released in Gaza

HeadlineJan 08, 2007

In Gaza, the kidnapped Peruvian journalist Jaime Razuri has been released — nearly a week after being seized by gunmen. The 50-year-old Razuri was on assignment for Agence France-Presse. He was set free on Sunday.

Jaime Razuri: “That’s what I can say. … I can’t — it’s too much for me to have more words than this right now, as you could understand, so just to say that I am very happy to be released by the action they have took. … So that’s all. Thank you very much to all of you to take care of what was going on with me all these days.”

No group has taken responsibility for the kidnapping.
