Kidnapped Britons freed in Gaza

A British human rights worker kidnapped in Gaza with her parents has spoken of their ordeal following their release.

Kate Burton, 24, told the BBC they were treated well by their kidnappers during the two-and-a-half days they were held, but that her parents were "tired".

Their captors, a previously unheard of group called the Mujahadeen Brigades, released a video denouncing the UK and threatening to take more hostages.

The family, of Newbury, Berkshire, are in Jerusalem with UK consular staff.
