A video tape sent to the Al Jazeera news channel contains further threats to kill kidnapped BBC Gaza correspondent, Alan Johnston.
In the video, members of the group the Army of Islam said they would kill the journalist unless their demands were met. The group also said that despite reports to the contrary, no deal has been struck between themselves and Palestinian group Hamas for Johnson's release.
Over the weekend, Hamas officials had said Johnston would be released "within hours." A spokesman for the Hamas group said: "All I can say is that Alan will be free very soon." The BBC in London said it had not received any "firm confirmation" of Johnston's situation.
Johnston was seized on March 12 as he drove from the BBC office in Gaza City the short distance to his apartment.
