Carroll Says Captors Treated Her Well MARIAM FAM, Associated Press | March 30 2006 BAGHDAD, Iraq - American reporter Jill Carroll
was set free Thursday, nearly three months
after she was kidnapped in an ambush that killed her translator, and
said she had been treated well. "I was treated well, but I don't know why I was kidnapped," Carroll said in a brief interview on Baghdad television. Even though the group threatened twice in videotapes to kill her, Carroll said, "They never hit me. They never said they would hit me." During the interview, Carroll wore a light green Islamic headscarf and a gray Arabic robe. "I'm just happy to be free. I want to be with my family," she was heard to say under the Arabic voiceover. Carroll said she was kept in a room with a window and a shower, but she did not know where she was. Asked about the circumstances of her release, she said, "They just came to me and said we're going. They didn't tell me what was going on." In Berlin, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she was "pleased" by the news of Carroll's release. --------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
