Journalist kidnapped on the job in Baghdad

Jill Carroll is being held until Iraqi women are released from U.S. custody

Gunmen in Baghdad kidnapped a freelanced journalist, Jill Carroll, on the morning of Jan. 7, 2006. Her driver escaped; however,· her translator, Allan Enwiyah, 32, was killed on the spot. Carroll was abducted while on assignment for the Christian Science Monitor.

The kidnapping has ignited support for Carroll's release from important Iraqi leaders, politicians and Iraqi women. Most feel that she has been consistently respectful and kind to the people of Iraq and should not be considered as an enemy.

The kidnappers delivered a tape of the abducted Carroll to Al Jazeera and the video aired on Jan. 17. The kidnappers said that they would kill her on Friday, Jan. 20, if the United States would not relea·se all the Iraqi women in their custody.

Carroll's family, especially her mother and father, have issued statements asking the kidnappers to have mercy on their daughter, who they refer to as an "innocent journalist," according to csmonitor.com.

On Jan. 26, five of the nine Iraqi women terrorist suspects were released. The United State's usual policy is never to negotiate with kidnappers. At this point, the fate of Carroll is still unknown.

Carroll is one of 250 foreigners that have been taken into captivity since the beginning of the war, which_began on March 20, 2003.
