#2 The officials said two women and three men were abducted by gunmen as they drank coffee in the southern town of Khan Yunis

Settlers wouldnt be caught dead (er, wait there must be a better way to phrase that) in Khan Yunis, and i dont think any other Jews would venture into the strip, except for the odd protestor/human shield type - not too many French Jews fit the category, AFAIK.

Tourists? Are you mad?

NGO types would be my guess. Sipping coffee, on a Friday afternoon/night, getting ready for the weekend would fit, wouldnt it?

#3 Debka sez : "Captives said to be welfare workers taken to Red Crescent building which surrounded by 25 armed men." NGO, it seems.

#5 dot com - see my comment on the other thread - IF im right about whos carrying out todays ops, and why, then they just want to get the Frenchies out of the way, not hold them. Expect their imminent release before M. Chirac can even formulate a position.

#6 Don't worry they are French and will be let go as soon as they express their anti-semite feelings.
