Briton begs Blair to meet captors’ demands

The third hostage being held by al-Zarqawi and his followers is now known to be alive. In a video that surfaced Wednesday, a grim Ken Bigley was shown pleading to Tony Blair to save his life. Bigley was shown in an orange jumpsuit inside a makeshift cage. “Tony Blair, I am begging you for my life,” Bigley, 62, a civil engineer, said between sobs. “Have some compassion. Only you can help me now.” This is the second video that has been released this week. Bigley will be held until the Iraqi women hostages are released. Two Americans were already beheaded for the same reason. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6015597/
