Vigil for captive BBC reporter

June 20, 2007

Thousands observed vigils around the world to mark the 100th day that BBC correspondent Alan Johnston has been held captive. The 45-year-old journalist was taken hostage in Gaza by the Army of Islam. The group appears to draw inspiration from al Qaeda but is also linked to violent clan rivalries among Gaza's 1.5 million people. The group has demanded that Britain free Muslim prisoners, particularly Islamist cleric Abu Qatada.
