Who is actually behind Alan Johnsons disappearance?

As I'm sure all on these boards are aware, Alan Johnson, a Scottish BBC correspondant who had lived in Gaza for 14 years, was abducted on the 12th of March this year. Since then, there as been a great outcry both in Britain and Palestine, asking for the release of him.

Looking at this scenario as a whole, it all strikes me as rather strange. In Palestine at the moment, there is an ongoing civil war between President Abbas's Fatah party and the Hamas group. The Fatah group has recieved arms shipments from Egypt, through Israel, and are supported as the "moderate" party in Palestine. Which is absurd. They merely recieve arms from Israel, as a divide in Palestine will make things much easier for Israel in that area, especially if they "have" to make combat manouevres to "stabilise the area".

So, when a predominant western journalist, the only one to live permantly in Palestine, and one of the few to support the Palestinian people, is abducted by an unknown militiant group, I started to wonder. What good would this do for the Hamas party? None. What good would this do for the Fatah party, and thereby Israel? Rather alot. This abduction seems more like a means to cause a greater divide in Palestine than it does a statement against Israeli oppression, as kidnappings in the past have done. President Abbas also knew about Alan Johnsons condition before Hamas or any othe Palestinian group

I may be wrong about all of this, I merely ask in the hope of being answered.
