A photograph taken by the kidnapped AP photographer shows Palestinian mourners gathering around the body of a militant killed during an Israeli army operation at the morgue of the hospital in Beit Lahiay, northern Gaza Strip, Monday, Oct. 23, 2006. Palestinian gunmen kidnapped an Associated Press photographer in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday Oct. 24, 2006, grabbing him as he walked out of his apartment and whisking him away in their vehicle, a witness said. Emilio Morenatti, 37, of Spain, was heading out of his apartment for an AP car, where Majed Hamdan, an AP driver and translator, was waiting. Hamdan said four gunmen grabbed his keys and phone and told him to turn away, pressing a gun to his head and threatening to harm him if he moved. Then they grabbed Morenatti, shoved him into a white Volkswagen and drove off, Hamdan said. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
