The picture above is an al-AP photo from Alan Johnston's release. I'm curious as to the identity of the lady in the hijab. Is she a BBC reporter? She certainly appears more European than Arab. Anyone know?
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

I would wager that she is a diplomat or translator. She is wearing a headscarf, not a full hijab.
