Family of kidnapped American journalist make appeal
The family of American journalist Jill Carroll issued another public appeal for her release today, a week before a deadline set by her Iraqi kidnappers for their demands to be met or they will kill her.
“She and thousands of other journalists try to bring truth to the world every day, and it is especially important in Iraq right now,” Carroll’s father, Jim, said in a one-minute audio message released by the media group Reporters Without Borders.
