CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Kidnapped U.S. journalist Jill Carroll has appeared in a new video on Al-Jazeera. In it, she’s weeping and appealing for the release of women Iraqi prisoners.

Last week, five Iraqi women were freed from U.S. custody. U.S. officials said the release had nothing to do with the demands by Carroll’s kidnappers that the U.S. release Iraqi women.

No sound was aired with the video. But Al-Jazeera said she appealed for the release of women Iraqi prisoners.

She’s visibly crying in the video, and is wearing a conservative Islamic veil.
