British Hostage Accuses Blair of Lying
Weeping British hostage Kenneth Bigley was shown pleading for help between the bars of a makeshift cage in a broadcast on the Arab news network Al-Jazeera video tab, Wednesday, September 29, 2004. Bigley, 62, begged British Prime Minister Tony Blair to meet his captors' demands. He accused Blair of lying about efforts to secure his release, saying no negotiations were taking place. It was the second tape in a week to surface showing Bigley appealing for help.  (Back)
