Hamas extends British reporter Paul Martin's detention - 'The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas has said it is extending the detention of a British journalist being held in the Gaza Strip. It announced Paul Martin would be held for a further 15 days. The freelance reporter was arrested on 14 February as he prepared to testify in the defence of a militant accused of collaborating with Israel...'
