We are thinking of

Eddie Mair | 18:32 UK time, Sunday, 15 April 2007

our colleague Alan Johnston, about whom there are worrying reports. I hope they're not accurate and that he returns safely.

    May Alan be alive and well.

    I pray too that these rumours of reports are soon contradicted by the Palestinian Authority.

    It's impossible for the majority of us to imagine what stress Alan, his family and friends must be going through at this time.
    I just hope that in some way all positive thoughts may help.

    Yes, I just heard the news on TV. My thoughts are with him and his loved ones. There is still hope.

    Dreadful, dreadful time for the Johnston family.

    One can't possibly imagine what they are going through.
    Please let him come back safely.

    I echo what everyone has said above; the only hope is that this is unsubstantiated and seems to be from an unknown group. Clutching at straws perhaps but I truly hope he is alive, well and returned soon.

    Thoughts to his friends, family and colleagues.

    This is a sombre time for all connected to Alan. Along with his family, the world of the media (especially those of you at the Beeb) and the many friends in Palestine who have spoken of him in such glowing and even loving terms. Hoping and praying can be the only course at the moment until clearer news emerges.

    Please pass on our thoughts to your colleagues in ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News, Eddie, especially those who are on dangerous assignments.

    I hadn't heard any news yesterday till I got home & saw this. I'm very sorry to hear it, but still hoping it may turn out not to be true. My thoughts are with his family & friends.

    There seems to be so much horrible news around at the moment; I pray that we shall hear some good soon in the form of Alan being returned to his family safe and well.
