The AP reports that Iraqi police continued to search Monday for Jill Carrol, an American journalist kidnapped this weekend in Baghdad. Armed gunmen abducted her, and killed her translator.

Carroll's driver, who survived the attack, [said] he saw a group appear suddenly, "as if they had come from the sky."
"One guy attracted my attention. He jumped in front of me screaming, 'Stop! Stop! Stop!' with his left hand up and a pistol in his right hand," said the driver, who was not identified.
The newspaper said one of the kidnappers pulled the driver from the car, jumped in, and drove away with several kidnappers huddled around Carroll and her interpreter. "They didn't give me any time to even put the car in neutral," said the driver.
