An unknown militant group demanded the release of Muslim prisoners in U.S. jails within 72 hours in exchange for two kidnapped Fox News journalists, who were shown sitting cross-legged and barefoot on the floor in a video released Wednesday.

In a statement attached to the video, a group calling itself the Holy Jihad Brigades railed against the U.S. wars in
Afghanistan and
Iraq and characterized them as a war against Islam. It made no demands of Israel.

The kidnappers of Centanni and Wiig demanded that Muslim prisoners in U.S. jails be released within three days in exchange for the hostages. The group did not say what would happen if the deadline passes.

In Washington, the State Department said it would not accede to the demands.
