New footage of Briton Norman Kember and three other Westerners held hostage in Iraq has been aired on Arab TV.

Mr Kember, 74, of Pinner, north London, was seized with two Canadians and an American on 26 November and was last seen in a video seven weeks ago.

The new video, aired on al-Jazeera TV, includes a message from the group, which calls itself the Swords of Truth, demanding all Iraqi prisoners be freed.

It says the four hostages will be killed if its demands are not met.

The tape shows the four hostages standing against a wall and is dated 21 January.

Evidently hostages from outside the U.S. don't get much ink. I never heard of this guy, but I hear plenty about OUR hostages.

What about over on that side of the pond?
