Good question. There often are ransoms paid, which IMHO only feeds the dragon.

100% Hamas. Hamas knew where Alan was. Hamas wanted to raid the houses to free Alan. The British and BBC begged Hamas to instead do negotiations.

Hamas wanted Alan Johnston freed. Negotiations became possible only after Hamas had driven Fatah from Gaza.
