Caged hostage Bigley calls Blair a liar

SHACKLED and caged, Iraq hostage Ken Bigley wept as he called British Prime Minister Tony Blair a liar in a new video issued by his kidnappers last night.

The 62-year-old’s family expressed their relief at seeing Mr Bigley alive but renewed their pleas for his captors to show mercy.

Mr Bigley, from Liverpool, was dressed in an orange jumpsuit, similar to those worn by the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, in the video screened on Arab TV station al-Jazeera.
