Freed hostage says she was treated well
American reporter Jill Carroll, who was kidnapped three months ago in a bloody ambush that killed her translator, was released from captivity today and said she had not been harmed.
“I was treated well, but I don’t know why I was kidnapped,” Carroll said in a brief interview on Baghdad television.
She was wearing an light green Islamic headscarf, a grey Arabic robe and looked well.
“Obviously, I want to be with my family,” she could be heard to say under the Arabic voiceover.
According to the Arabic translation of her remarks, Carroll said she had been allowed to watch television on one occasion, but that was not sufficient for her to have a good idea of the news about her.
She said her captors allowed her to read newspapers.
She was not heard to say anything about who her captors might have been.
