good news, but with all the respect he's not brave, he's stupid.
that's one place on earth under the rule of chaos, anarchy and extremists you wouldn't want to visit..
No, he's a brave man & a true pro.
So called journalists & reporters write crap & dross all day in the so called 'Press.'
However guys like Alan Johnstone, put themselves in the firing line to report these events, without whom, none would know about.
He was & is highly respected out there.
So much so, that hundreds of thousands of people worldwide joined together to put pressure to set him free.
It was actually Hamas who helped free him by putting pressure on the extremists of extremists, to release him. ('so called army of islam' i think)
If Hamas were busting a gut to help him, you gotta know this guy crosses boundaries in respect.
He also reported very equally, as the BBC tries to.
The locals actually love him & were as disgusted as us when he got kidnapped, as he was one of the lone voices telling of the plight.
So, you're very wrong Michael.
