Twin`s Plea To Iraqi Captors Holding Sister

The twin sister of captured journalist, Jill Carroll, is pleading for her sister`s release from captors in Iraq. As her captivity is now in its third month, sister Katie Carroll says, "We would be grateful for any new sign that Jill is well." Jill Carroll, 28, was in Iraq as a freelancing for The Christian Science Monitor.

She says that the captors must "have come to know her, that they recognize what a wonderful person she is and realize they could show the world they are merciful to an innocent woman by returning her home to us."

Katie adds, "We`ve had no information at all. It`s very frustrating and we`re very eager for anyone who has any information to reach out, which is why I`m doing the appeal today - to see if there is any new information or anyone who is willing to help us."
