Jill Carroll Kidnapping Investigation Yields New Information on Other Abductions

"Jill Carroll's eleven-part account of her kidnapping can be read here.

Jill was a freelance journalist for the Christian Science Monitor who was kidnapped last January after a failed meeting with Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab-majority Accord Front party. Her Iraqi translator, Alan Enwiya, was murdered in the street during the kidnapping. Her driver, Adnan Abbas, "escaped." Her abduction was mourned and followed by various Iraqi bloggers such as Fayrouz and 24 Steps To Liberty. She was released in 82 days later in late March, and some suspected abductors have recently been arrested. "
