WARNING: Video contains violent content. Discretion is advised. On Wednesday, one of the journalists who were held hostage by gunmen during the takeover of an Ecuadorean TV station said, “I thought it was my last day on Earth and I wouldn’t see my children again. They hunted us, they looked for us everywhere, and they took us to the set with the intention,” Alina Manrique, TC TV journalist, added. Gunmen stormed a studio at public broadcaster TC on Tuesday afternoon, carrying long-range guns, grenades and dynamite, part of a surge in violence that has prompted President Daniel Noboa to name 22 gangs as terrorist organizations to be targeted by the military. Some 329 people, mostly members of gangs, have been arrested since the state of emergency began, according to the Armed Forces.
