No insurgent group has taken responsibility for kidnapping Christian Science Monitor reporter
Jill Carroll, but a still photograph from the videotape of Carroll on Al Jazeera's website shows the words "The Revenge Brigade." The Washington Post
reports a group by that name kidnapped a Swedish Iraqi politician in early 2005 and released him after demanding millions of dollars in ransom. It's not known if any ransom was paid. (Read a
tribute to Carroll's Iraqi interpreter, who was shot and killed in the abduction.)
