A new video footage aired by an Arab satellite channel showed the group holding the four Western peace activists in Iraq, including Norman Kember, British, giving the U.S. government the last chance to fulfill its demand of freeing all Iraqi prisoners or else it will kill the hostages.

Mr Kember, 74, of Pinner, north London, was kidnapped along with two Canadians and an American in Baghdad on 26 November.

The four appeared in the footage standing against a wall and speaking to the camera but their voices could not be heard.

Muslim peace groups, scholars, and activists from all over the world, including the Palestinian Islamist group, Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, have appealed for the safe release of the four aid workers.

More than 200 foreigners have been kidnapped since the launch of March 2003 war on Iraq, in some incidents, captors were seeking ransom, in other cases they were trying to put pressure on hostages’ governments to withdraw their occupying troops from Iraq.

Many have been freed, but about 50 have been killed.

Greetings and peace fozley;
This is bad news......more bad publicity for muslims.......this is saddening
Despite what the press may say I believe that most Christians do not look on the captors as true Muslims. I also sense that most Muslims distance themselves from this kind of activity and many Muslim groups have appealed to the captors of Norman Kember for his safe release.

Last week I met a friend of Norman Kember and she was saying there is a constant prayer vigil for his safe release.

I admire greatly the peace activists who put themselves in places of danger in order that they might strive for justice and peace for others.

I know that some of these activists write declarations that if anything should happen to them then they forgive their enemies and they also ask that there are no reprisals.

In the spirit of seeking justice for all people.

Eric.
