AP Photographer Kidnapped in Gaza

美联社摄影记者在加沙被绑架

Palestinian gunmen in Gaza have kidnapped a Spanish photographer working for the Associated Press. Emilio Morenatti was abducted early Tuesday morning in Gaza City as he left an apartment building to get into an A.P. car. The driver of the car says four masked gunmen restrained him and shoved Morenatti into a white Volkswagen and drove away. No one has claimed responsibility.

A spokesman for the Hamas-led Palestinian government condemned Morenatti's kidnapping and demanded his immediate release. He said the act violates Palestinian interests. The office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a similar condemnation and said Palestinian security forces are searching for the photographer.

加沙地带的巴勒斯坦枪手绑架了一名为美联社工作的西班牙摄影记者。这名叫莫内纳提的摄影记者星期二早上离开公寓大楼走向美联社的汽车时被绑架。这辆汽车的司机说，四名戴着面罩的武装分子制服了莫内纳提，将他推进了一辆白色的大众牌汽车后驾车离去。目前没有人声称对这起事件负责。

哈马斯领导的巴勒斯坦政府的发言人谴责了莫内纳提被绑架的事件，并要求立即释放这名记者。发言人说，绑架行为违反了巴勒斯坦人的利益。巴勒斯坦权力机构主席阿巴斯的办公室也发出类似的谴责，并表示巴勒斯坦安全部队正在搜寻这名摄影记者。
