GAZA: Hamas issued an ultimatum yesterday to those holding BBC journalist Alan Johnston in Gaza, threatening to free him by force if they don't release him by the end of the day.
"If he is not released, we would use all means to secure his life and to free him," a senior Hamas official said of Johnston, who was abducted in Gaza on March 12.
A shadowy group holding Johnston threatened on Sunday to kill him, in a video broadcast by the Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel.
