GAZA, Oct 11 (Reuters) - A previously unknown Palestinian armed group said it kidnapped an American student in the West Bank on Wednesday to "confront" the United States and force the release of some Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

"Our demands are the immediate release of all imprisoned women and minors," a masked member of Ansar Assuna told reporters. He said Michael Phillips, 24, was abducted to "confront the American war on Islam".
