Western hostages
DUBAI, Jan 28: The captors of four Western peace activists in Iraq said US-led forces had one last chance to free Iraqi prisoners or they would kill the hostages, Al Jazeera television said on Saturday.
The Arabic channel aired a video from the Swords of Truth group, apparently showing the two Canadians, one Briton and one American standing against a wall. The hostages appeared to be speaking to the camera.
Briton Norman Kember, American Tom Fox and Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped on Nov 26 in Baghdad.
