New video of Briton seized in Iraq in 2007

The British Embassy in Baghdad has received a new video of one of five British hostages kidnapped about two years ago. “Regarding the transfer of troops, soldiers, we are positive on that issue,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking through an interpreter. In an exclusive interview with CNN at the headquarters of his Justice and Development Party, Erdogan indicated he had not yet received an official request from his American ally for permission to move troops across Turkish soil.
