According to Reuters, Al Jazeera just aired a hostage video featuring Christian Science Monitor reporter Jill Carroll. The demand, much like every other demand, is that they will kill Carroll if the United States does not release all female prisoners in Iraq within 72 hours.
I do not know what group took Carroll hostage therefore I can’t even speculate whether or not this is a ransom case or not. Though the demand is very generic and one that in the past has all but signaled it is a ransom case.
