Baghdad, Iraq ? The Christian Science Monitor has launched a campaign on Iraqi television stations, hoping to win the release of reporter Jill Carroll who was kidnapped in Iraq two months ago.

The newspaper’s videotaped message appeared on the private Sharqiya television Wednesday afternoon, a day after it was first broadcast by state-run Iraqiya-TV, according to the Monitor.

Carroll, a freelance writer for the paper, was kidnapped on Jan. 7, in Baghdad’s western Adl neighborhood while going to interview Sunni Arab politician Adnan al-Dulaimi.

Her translator was killed in the attack about 300 yards from al-Dulaimi’s office.

A narrator says: “Kidnapped American journalist Jill Carroll loves Iraq, and now she needs your help. Time has come for Jill Carroll to return home safely.”
