A 70-year-old U.S. citizen kidnapped in Pakistan last year has made an emotional plea to President Barack Obama to meet al Qaeda's demands in order to save his life, according to a video released on several Islamist websites Sunday.
"My life is in your hands, Mr. President," Warren Weinstein said in the video. "If you accept the demands, I live. If you don't accept the demands, then I die."
Weinstein, a development consultant, was abducted in August from his home in the city of Lahore. In December, al Qaeda claimed responsibility for his capture.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, leader of the terror network, listed eight demands that he said, if met, would result in Weinstein's release. The demands related to issues in the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia.

While I feel for the individual in question being used as a pawn, the list of demands from Al Qaeda has no chance of being met. The list is very deliberate and the terrorist leaders know that. They plan to use it against the US as justification for their existence and the death of an old man who was most likely trying to earn a living. What kind of world are we leaving to our children~!
Lesson to all civilized people. Don't go to any ShltHoleistan country!!!!! Hahahahahahaha
Anyone from the US who travels to Pakistan has to know it is dangerous. Now that he is kidnapped, he expects the US to bend over to save his sorry backside when he had it in his power to prevent this whole problem by simply not traveling to Pakistan. I say ignore him.
