I don't watch fox or any other news entertainment.

When Iran and others fund terrorist organizations, there is little if any reason to kidnap for money. I know the claim is that it is Al Qaeda (and thus not presumably funded by Iran) that had kidnapped the elderly man, but honestly, I'd guess a group of poor people in an undeveloped nation may have done the kidnapping and used the terrorist brand for their own agenda ($). That, or its another pysop... or perhaps the database is still running around with or without CIA sending them some dough.
