Kidnappers holding US journalist Jill Carroll say they will carry out a threat to kill her unless their demands are met by a February 26th deadline, Kuwait's Al Rai TV said today, citing sources close to her captors.

Al Rai chairman Jassem Boodai declined to specify the kidnappers' demands. In previous videos, Carroll has said her captors are demanding that all female prisoners in Iraq be freed.

"The demands are specific. We have passed them on to the authorities," Boodai said.

Al Rai TV aired a new videotape of Carroll on Thursday. She was abducted in Baghdad on January 7th.
