Cat Stevens calls for release of British hostage
Yusuf Islam, the rocker formerly known as Cat Stevens, is calling "in the name of Allah" on the kidnappers of British engineer Kenneth Bigley in Iraq to release him.
Just days after Islam was denied entry into America after being deemed a terrorist threat, he has now written a letter to the British embassy in Baghdad appealing for the release of Bigley, who faces the threat of a beheading if the US- led coalition forces do not free women they are holding.
