Holy Jihad Brigades?

Well there's finally a video out and it looks as if Steve Centanni and Olf Wiig are okay. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about this one since most of the abductions in this area end within a few hours and these two guys have been held for 9 days now.

A unknown (until now) group called the Jihad Brigades is claiming responsibility for this one.

In a written statement accompanying the video, the group demands the release of Arab prisoners from U.S.-run jails, citing the military facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

According to CNN, in the video Centanni speaks first, saying:

We have been taken captive in Gaza and are being held prisoner here," he says, sitting cross-legged next to Wiig.

"We're in fairly good condition, we're alive and well and in fairly good health. We get lots of clean water, food every day, access to the bathroom, shower, clean clothes and our captors are treating us well.

"Just want to let you know I'm here and alive and give my love to my family and friends and ask you to do anything you can to try to help us get out of here."

Wiig then speaks: "If you could apply any political pressure on the local government here in Gaza and the West Bank that would be much appreciated by Steve and myself...

"To my family: I love you all. Please don't worry, I'll do all the worrying for us."
