Jill Carrol's Abduction: An Analysis

Today Jill Carrol is still in captivity by her Iraqi abductors. A foreign correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, she had embedded herself not with U.S. troops but with the Iraqi people themselves.

Boing Boing is reporting:

Jill Carroll's white head scarf conveyed specific meaning: "He could tell by watching the video that basically she was still with the Sunnis because Shiites would never have put a white scarf on her," Spinner related.

Here you can find the latest video by her captors.

It was interesting to read this article of how the video analysis could even isolate what neighborhood she is most likely held. I also recommend seeing the blog Boing Boing referenced for further details.

We hope for her safe return.
