Spanish journalist abducted in Syria
Veteran Spanish war correspondent Marc Marginedas, who writes for Barcelona's El Periodico, was abducted in Syria by jihadist rebels on 4 September, according to his paper.
Marginedas, 46, was being driven on the outskirts of the western Syrian city of Hama when he was taken captive. He had entered Syria from Turkey three days before accompanied by members of the Free Syrian Army.
No group has admitted to holding Marginedas. But El Periodico reports that there was a call on a jihadist internet forum to capture all reporters and search them to discover if they have photos and news reports about jihadists.
Marginedas, who began his foreign reporting career 25 years ago, is the author of the book Periodismo en el campo de batalla (Journalism on the battlefield), which was published last year.
