Alan Johnston released.

[Animator!]

We'll try again shall we
I apologise for the previous thread, My definiton of sourced wasn't the same as yours.

BBC reporter Alan Johnston has said it is "just unimaginably good to be free" after 114 days in captivity in Gaza.

He said his ordeal felt like being "buried alive", and was "sometimes quite terrifying".

Mr Johnston, 45, was handed over to the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza City. Britain said the group had played a key role in his release.

The reporter said he had not been tortured by the Army of Islam group which seized him on 12 March.

Several hours later he appeared live on TV, thanking BBC colleagues and others who had supported him throughout his time in captivity.

Great news for his family, friends and himself. Also for realations between Israel and Palestine, they worked together to get him freed.

Discuss.

Through out this saga ive been following closely, im not normally one to love reporters but this guy caught my eye. His reports were both informative and interesting and i cant wait until he gets back into action. Glad he got a haircut aswell .

I wonder if he will return to the middle east, or stay firmly in Britain from now on?
