Iraqi and U.S. investigators are searching for kidnapped American journalist Jill Carroll, who works for the Christian Science Monitor. On Tuesday, Carroll's family appealed for her release as her abductors issued a videotape of her in captivity. Kidnappers said they will kill her unless the U.S. military releases all of its female prisoners in Iraq within 72 hours.
