Saudi diplomat held by Yemen’s Qaeda appeals for his release in new video

By Al Arabiya With Agencies

Suspected al-Qaeda militants in Yemen have posted a video on the internet for a Saudi diplomat kidnapped nearly a month ago in Yemen’s south appealing to King Abdullah to meet Al-Qaeda demands to secure his release.

“I appeal to King Abdullah… and the Saudi government to save me and release me from al-Qaeda organization in return for releasing the sisters detained in (Saudi) general investigation prisons and fulfilling the remaining demands of the organization,” Abdullah al-Khalidi said in the video, posted late on Friday and published by SITE Intelligence Group.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula abducted Khalidi, Saudi Arabia’s deputy consul in Yemen’s main southern city of Aden, on March 28 in a bid to secure the release of prisoners and collect a ransom.
