Trying to keep things rated PG, but it takes every ounce of willpower not to curse the people who did this out to high heavens.  I can't begin to imagine the agony of this man's family:

Kidnapped BBC Journalist Shown Wearing Explosives Belt - Sarah El Deeb (AP/Washington Post)
    A video released Monday shows kidnapped British journalist Alan Johnston wearing an explosives belt and warning it will be detonated if an attempt is made to free him by force.
    "Captors tell me that very promising negotiations were ruined when the Hamas movement and the British government decided to press for a military solution to this kidnapping," Johnston says in the recording, looking nervous and stressed.
    "I have been dressed in what is an explosive belt, which the kidnappers say will be detonated if there is an attempt to storm the area," he added.
