An Italian activist has been found dead in Gaza city hours after being abducted. Vittorio Arrigoni was seized on Thursday by Islamist radicals who threatened to kill him if Hamas did not release a number of Palestinian prisoners. The extremists posted a video of him on YouTube, tied up and blindfolded before the killing. Hamas officials say two suspects have been arrested, and others are being sought.
