KUWAIT CITY (AP) – Kidnapped American journalist Jill Carroll appeared in a video aired Thursday on a private Kuwaiti TV channel appealing for her supporters to do whatever it takes to win her release “as quickly as possible.”

In the video, Carroll said the date was Feb. 2, nearly a month after she was abducted by armed men in Baghdad, who killed her Iraqi translator.

The 28-year-old freelancer said she had sent one letter and now was sending another to “prove I am with the mujahadeen.”

“I sent you a letter written by my hand, but you wanted more evidence,” she said. “I am here. I am fine. Please just do whatever they want, give them whatever they want as quickly as possible. There is a very short time. Please do it fast. That’s all.”

She wore a conservative Islamic headscarf and appeared composed, speaking in a strong voice and sitting in front of what appeared to be a decorative wall-hanging with a large, stylized flower.

The video was aired on Alrai TV, a private Kuwaiti channel, and included audio, unlike two previous videos of Carroll.

On Jan. 30, Al-Jazeera television broadcast a video showing Carroll weeping as she appealed for the release of female Iraqi prisoners.

Armed men abducted the 28-year-old freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor on Jan. 7 in Baghdad.

The name of the group that has claimed responsibility for her abduction, the Revenge Brigades, appeared on that video.

On Jan. 17, Al-Jazeera aired a video released by the Revenge Brigades showing Carroll _ her head bare, and her long straight brown hair parted in the middle _ and setting a Jan. 20 deadline for the release of all female prisoners in Iraq. The group threatened to execute her unless their demands were met.
