BAGHDAD (AP) - Al-Jazeera television aired a new videotape Friday in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists, including two Canadians, threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention centres are released.

The kidnappers gave the two governments until Thursday to meet their demands, according to Al-Jazeera quoting a statement delivered with the tape.

The tape showed what the television station said were two Canadian hostages. An American and a Briton are also being held. The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets.
