An elderly American development worker kidnapped in Pakistan has appeared in a new video, appealing to US President Obama to negotiate his release after more than two years in captivity.

In the 13-minute video received Thursday by The Associated Press, Warren Weinstein says he feels ”abandoned.”

Weinstein was Pakistan country director for JE Austin Associates, a US-based firm that advises Pakistani business and government sectors.

He was abducted in August 2011 at his home in Lahore.

Al Qaeda claimed responsibility.

The video and an accompanying letter purportedly written by Weinstein were emailed anonymously to reporters.

The video was labelled ”As-Sahab,” which is al Qaeda’s media wing.

However, there was no way to verify its authenticity or when it was made.

  1. Warren Weinstein probably a cia agent this man must be handed over to the family of last drone attack which happend on wednesday 27 dec 2013 at midnight The attack took place around midnight in Qutab Khel village, five kilometres (three miles) south of Miramshah A US drone fired two missiles on a house killing at least 4 four civilians and a 5 fifth was seriously injured. residents surrounded the house pulled out the bodies, the bodies were charred beyond recognition.

    • You need to get out more and understand how the world works,you cannot keep blaming the whole world for your own ..ckups,you are an idiot with the same excuse as many like you,who are,like yourself,clueless,uneducated and still stuck in Kharian(no disrespect meant towards Kharian) On the other hand,I want to thank Saqib for providing something for you to think about,if its all possible.

  2. Ordinary American civilians have to bear the brunt of policies of the US government. Weinstein was an aid worker who might not have anything to do with the US government actions. It is same case as Punjabi labourers killed in Balochistan by Baloch separatists might not have anything to do with government or military action there. You can't label every Western person as CIA agent without solid proof. Not everything in this country is Western or Jewish conspiracy. Look at the assets declared by "patriotic" politicians, and you will get the answer what is wrong with us.

  3. Let him go, he is innocent. People in this country are not aware of drone attacks and are not in politics either.
