inset: Journalists 'well'
A previously unknown militant group has released a video of two Western journalists who were kidnapped in the Gaza Strip nine days ago.
Olaf Wiig, 36, and Steve Centanni, 60, of US channel Fox News, were shown telling their families they were in "fairly good health".
A fax from the "Holy Jihad Brigades" to news agencies demanded the US release "Muslim prisoners" within 72 hours.
<snip>
The group also issued pictures of the journalists' identity cards, and, in a separate statement faxed to news agencies, called for a prisoner release within three days.
"We will give you one chance that will not be repeated - the liberation of Muslims detained in American prisons in exchange for the detainees in our hands," the statement read.
"We give you a deadline of 72 hours starting from today at noon to decide."
The group did not say what would happen to the two journalists if the US did not meet their demand.
"If you implement our conditions we will implement our promise, otherwise you will have to wait," the statement said.

Update: According to this BBC report, there is an implicit threat that, should the kidnappers demands not be met, "God will decide the fate of the 2 journalists". |

SAVAGES is right! From the transcript: Chilling!!
| Quote: | So to all you leaders of the infidels and masters of injustice and tyranny, "Embrace Islam and you will be saved, or else, enjoy yourselves until your turn comes to be slaughtered.
You have angered us, and we are not the kind that is subdued when they are angered, but rather the fountains of Islam and the light of faith spring through us. "It is not fitting for an apostle that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land.", "then bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens."
This is the chance we give you, and God only knows if this chance will come to you again. We demand the release of the Muslim prisoners, males and females in the prisons of America, in exchange of our prisoners........
