Woo hoo! as we say in American. The BBC's Alan Johnston (see banner in side bar) has been released! It's already the 4th in the Middle East, ya know. I was just leaving a restaurant downtown, tuned into the BBC on XM satellite radio, and out of the blue heard:
"BBC correspondent Alan Johnston has been released after four months in captivity. The only international correspondent still working in the lawless Gaza Strip, he had been kidnapped on his way home from his Gaza City office on 12 March."
I am over the moon to hear this, especially after all the grim news coming out of the UK this week. Full coverage on the BBC here.
