BBC's Johnston 'released in Gaza'
BBC correspondent Alan Johnston has reportedly been freed from kidnappers in Gaza after almost four months in captivity.
Mr Johnston, 45, was handed over to officials of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas administration, reports say.
During his time as a hostage, three videos were released featuring images of Mr Johnston or of his belongings.
Calls were made for his release in rallies worldwide and in an online petition signed by some 200,000 people.

I'm really happy now. I remember when he was kidnapped and when they thought he might be dead. I signed the petition they mention in the article, if only to show my support for his family.
At least one really good thing happened today. :)
