'My life is in your hands Mr President': Heartfelt video plea from Al Qaeda hostage urging Barack Obama to give in to terrorist demands

An American hostage held by Al Qaeda urges Barack Obama to meet the militant group's demands and set him free in a video released by Al Qaeda yesterday.

Warren Weinstein, who was taken prisoner in Pakistan last August, tells the U.S. President: 'My life is in your hands,' and says: 'If you accept the demands, I live, if you don't accept the demands, then I die.'

The two-minute 40-second video was posted on jihadist forums by Al Sahab, Al Qaeda's media arm.

Among the demands made are an end to U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and elsewhere; and the release of notable Al Qaeda members.
