   kidnapped italian reporter shown on tape

 baghdad, iraq - sobbing and clasping her hands a kidnapped italian journalist appeared on a video wednesday, pleading for her life and calling on u.s.-led troops to pull out of iraq.

 "you must end the occupation, it's the only way we can get out of this situation," giuliana sgrena said in the videotape, obtained by associated press television news. there was no indication from the tape when it was made.

 rocking back and forth, sgrena appeared alone in the brief footage, only her shadow visible on a white background behind her. in the upper left corner of the image, the words "mujahedeen without borders" appeared in digital red arabic script — a previously unheard-of group.

 "i ask the italian government, the italian people struggling against the occupation, i ask my husband, 'please, help me,'" sgrena said in french. "you must do all you can to end the occupation. i'm counting on you, you can help me."

 the 56-year-old reporter for the communist daily il manifesto was kidnapped feb. 4 by unidentified gunmen outside a mosque in baghdad. conflicting claims about her fate have appeared on islamic militant web sites.

 in the aptn footage, sgrena spoke in both italian and french and wore a green jacket and shirt. she appeared in good health, but looked tired and was clearly anxious, with her hands clasped together.

 at one point she addressed her companion, pierre scolari, breaking into tears.

 "show all the pictures i have taken of the iraqis, of the children hit by the cluster bombs, of the women. i beg you. help me, help me to demand the withdrawal of the troops, help me spare my life."
