BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston appears wearing a body belt, which he said contained explosives, in this image taken from a short video, entitled "Alan’s Appeal", released by Jaish al-Islam (‘Islamic Army’ or ‘Army Of Islam’) on June 25, 2007. Johnston entreated Hamas and the British Government not to use force to free him or his captors would carry out their threat to detonate the explosives strapped to his body.
