Tape: Missing U.S. Journalist Says He's OK

By RAVI NESSMAN

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A U.S. journalist abducted by militants in Iraq and threatened with death said in a video aired Friday that his captors were treating him well, while an Italian journalist also was reported missing in the wartorn country.

The video was broadcast on the Arab television station Al-Jazeera after a top aide to firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said the kidnappers had told him they would free Micah Garen on Friday, but there was no word on his release.
