British Hostage Pleads for Life in New Video

A new video was released today in which British hostage Ken Bigley, chained and behind bars, pleaded for his life:

In the footage, a sobbing Bigley - his legs and hands chained - was seen talking from behind the bars of what appeared to be a prison cell. He was dressed in a orange jump suit and kneeling on the floor, and at one point he cradled his head in one of his hands.

"He doesn't care about me, I'm just one person," he was heard saying, referring to Blair. "Please, please, help me. I'm begging you (Blair), I'm begging you to speak, to push." The announcer, translating Bigley's comments into Arabic in a voiceover, said Bigley asserted that Blair was lying when he said there were negotations being carried out to save his life.
