Several new theories have emerged about the kidnappers of Olaf Wiig today. One is that the Holy Jihad Brigades is a splinter of Yasser Arafat's Fatah Movement and, despite their demands, the kidnapping is about internal Palestinian politics - specifically about discrediting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Another, from analysis of yesterday's video, is that they are actually connected to Al Qaeda and the kidnapping is unlike others carried out in the territories.

Another is that the kidnappers are just unemployed and looking for a job in security. Kidnapping in lieu of a CV, as it where.
