Jill Carroll disavows Iraq video
Sunday 02 April 2006, 2:56 Makka Time, 23:56 GMT [ http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/96027BB5-D47F-41AA-9A2D-1DF330C2B2AA.htm ]
Jill Carroll, the former Iraq hostage, has strongly disavowed statements she had made during her captivity and shortly after her release, saying she had been repeatedly threatened.
In a video, recorded before she was freed and posted by her captors on an Islamist web site, Carroll - a freelancer for the Boston-based Christian Science Monitor - spoke out against the US military presence in Iraq
But in a statement on Saturday, she said the recording was made under threat. Her editor has said three men were pointing guns at her at the time.
