Iraqi Kidnappers Threaten to Kill U.S. Hostage

Advertisements [?]

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraqi kidnappers said in a tape aired on an Arabic television station on Saturday they will kill a U.S. hostage they're holding unless U.S. forces lift the siege of Falluja.

"Up to now your prisoner is being dealt with in the tolerant manner specified by Islamic law. Our one request is to break the siege of the city of the mosques (Falluja) during the 12 hours from six o'clock on Saturday evening," a voice on a tape shown on Qatar-based Al Jazeera said.

"If not he will be dealt with worse that those who were killed and burned in Falluja," the voice added in the tape, which also showed the man, who Al Jazeera said was described elsewhere in the tape as a U.S. citizen.
