BBC's Johnston to tell kidnap story

Former BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston is to tell the story of his kidnap ordeal in Gaza in two special BBC programmes later this month.

Johnston spent 114 days in captivity after being abducted at gunpoint by militants in Gaza City earlier this year.

An hour long Panorama special on BBC One will feature an extended interview conducted by Jeremy Vine along with reports from the Middle East, the US and the UK as well as interviews with those involved in the efforts to free Johnston.

In the BBC World Service and BBC Radio 4 programme From Our Own Correspondent, Johnston will tell his story in his own words.
