      Johnston: 'It Was Like Being Buried Alive'


      British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) reporter Alan Johnston told reporters Wednesday morning that he felt as if he was "being buried alive" during his 114-ordeal at the hands of Muslim kidnappers. He described his captors as "dangerous and unpredictable" and revealed that he once was chained for 24 hours. "I dreamt many times of being free and always woke up back in that room," he stated.

      Johnston is on his way to Jerusalem at this moment.
