Jill Carroll Released.



After being held hostage in Iraq for 3 months, American freelance journalist Jill Carroll was released unharmed.

From ABC News:

Carroll, 28, was dropped off near the Iraqi Islamic Party offices. She walked inside, and people there called American officials, Iraqi police said.

"I was treated well, but I don’t know why I was kidnapped," Carroll said in a brief interview on Baghdad television.

From CNN:

Her father Jim Carroll said he was asleep at his home in North Carolina when the telephone rang at about 6 a.m. The voice on the other end of the line said simply, "Hi Dad. This is Jill. I’m released."
