Kidnapperne som holder Christian Science Monitor-journalisten Jill Carroll slapp en ny video av henne idag, der hun sier hun bare har kort tid igjen.
Kidnapped American journalist Jill Carroll appeared in a video aired Thursday on a private Kuwaiti TV station, appealing for her supporters to do whatever it takes to win her release «as quickly as possible.»

Carroll, talking in a calm, composed voice and wearing traditional Arab attire, said the date was Feb. 2, nearly a month after she was seized in Baghdad by armed men who killed her Iraqi translator. She was shown sitting on a chair in front of a wall with a large floral design.
The 28-year-old freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor said she had sent one letter and was sending another to «prove I am with the mujahedeen.»
«I sent you a letter written by my hand, but you wanted more evidence,» she said. «I am here. I am fine. Please just do whatever they want, give them whatever they want as quickly as possible. There is very short time. Please do it fast. That’s all.»
The 22-second video was carried by Alrai TV, a private Kuwaiti channel, and included audio, unlike two previous videos of Carroll that were broadcast by Al-Jazeera television. A producer at Al-Jazeera said the station did not receive any letters with the videos it aired.(AP)
