Jill Carroll Freed After 82 Days as Iraqi Kidnapping Held

Jill Carroll, 28, an American freelancer for The Christian Science Monitor, was released in Baghdad after 82 days in captivity. She described a tiny room, limited outside contact, and said she was not harmed. Her release came amid threats from captors and no ransom reported. Her twin sister had pleaded for freedom, and President Bush welcomed the release.

Abductees in Iraq most often are Iraqis says U S official

The U S Embassy in Baghdad reports that Iraqis are the principal kidnapping victims, with 10 to 20 Iraqis seized daily since April 2003. Ransoms typically run 20 to 30 thousand dollars, funded by unemployment and high wages. Abductions span both Shiite and Sunni areas, often in daylight by masked gunmen, as security deteriorates and political tensions rise. American and foreign captives number in the dozens, including at least 42 foreigners.
