(CNN News Blog)--- Gunmen have kidnapped an American journalist in Syria, the journalist's family announced Wednesday. Freelancer James Foley was taken in northwest Syria on November 22, Thanksgiving Day in America, his family said, adding it decided to make his capture public now in the hope that media attention will increase the odds he'll be released unharmed.

"We want Jim to come safely home, or at least we need to speak with him to know he's OK," said the journalist's father, John Foley. "Jim is an objective journalist and we appeal for the release of Jim unharmed. To the people who have Jim, please contact us so we can work together toward his release."

Cynthia,

Does this mean that you won't be praying for him? It's a dangerous job, but someone has to do it just like the military personnel. We all can't stay in the States, my sistah.
