British hostage in Iraq Kenneth Bigley is seen in this video made available from his captors on the internet Thursday Sept. 30 2004. Bigley was abducted from a Baghdad home two weeks before along with two Americans who have since been beheaded by a group demanding the relase of females from American-controlled prisons in Iraq. Despite his empassioned appeal in the video, Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Thursday that no ransom or concession would be paid to secure his release.(AP Photo)
