Al-Jazeera airs tape of three Iraq hostages

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- An American was the only member missing from a group of hostages who appeared on a video begging their governments to work for their release.

Four activists from the Christian Peacemaker Teams vanished Nov. 26 in Baghdad. They were last seen together on a video that aired on al-Jazeera Jan. 28. A statement apparently accompanied that tape claiming the four would be killed unless all Iraqi prisoners were released from Iraqi and U.S. prisons. No deadline was set.

The hostages seen in the new video were Canadians James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32; and Briton Norman Kember, 74. Tom Fox, 54, of Clear Brook, Va., was not in the 25-second tape.
