abducted journalist Jill Carroll freed

American journalist Jill Carroll, abducted in early January by gunmen in Baghdad, was released to a Sunni Arab political party in the capital Thursday morning after 82 days in captivity.

“I was treated very well. That’s important for people to know,” she said in an interview with an Arabic-speaking questioner at the headquarters of the Iraqi Islamic Party. “They never hit me, they never even threatened to hit me. I’m just happy to be free, and I want to be with my family.”
