Jill Carroll Kidnapping Story To Be Told In 11-Part Series Next Week

[ECH1969]

A promotional ad for the series on the Monitor web site titled it "Hostage: The Jill Carroll Story" and described it as "featuring Jill's own words about her abduction and captivity, along with video clips as she describes her long ordeal."

"I would describe it as a comprehensive and compelling report on Jill's 82 days in captivity and the lessons learned by her," said Dave Cook, the Monitor's Washington, D.C. bureau chief who has acted as a spokesman for Carroll. "She has a phenomenal memory, it is a detail-rich story."

The Web promotion also says that she had been moved nine times during her captivity and had been forced by her lead captor, described as "head of an insurgent council organized by the notorious Abu Musab al Zarqawi," to 'interview' him for hours on end." It added that, "in her last hours of captivity he told her: 'Forget about the council. Everything is forbidden. You must forget it all.' She forgot nothing."
