Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

A Year Later, They Miss Only Falafel

July 29, 2007 12:05 PM ET | Permanent Link | Print

It's been almost a year since Fox News Channel reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig were seized in Gaza and held for 13 days. But with the exception of fresh falafel and a big story, they aren't eager to return to the Palestinian territory. "It's really not a good time to go back," says Centanni, who was seized with Wiig August 14 and held until August 27. Besides diplomatic reporting, Centanni now works to free other reporters held captive around the globe. About the falafel, he says his captors some times ordered out for their prisoners. "It's hard to believe it was a year ago."
