British trio kidnapped in Gaza

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Three people, described as a British couple and their child, were kidnapped Wednesday at Rafah in southern Gaza, according to Palestinian Security sources.

The sources said the kidnappers were believed to be members of a splinter group upset because Palestinians whose names are on a black-list are being prevented from leaving Gaza for Egypt through the Rafah Crossing.

Recently, European Union monitors blocked a group of people -- including Jamal abu Samhadan, a leader in the Popular Resistance Committee, and Khaled al-Dadouh of Islamic Jihad -- from leaving Gaza and entering Egypt.

Members of the group are believed to be pressing the Palestinian Authority to end the black-listing process.
