Abdullah al-Khalidi, deputy consul in the southern port city of Aden who was kidnapped on March 28, 2012, appears in the nearly two-minute video with his head covered and sporting a long beard. In the video posted online Tuesday and released by Al-Qaeda's Al-Malahem Media, Khalidi said he has so far spent two years and five months in captivity. Militants from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) said they seized Khalidi in a bid to secure the release of female prisoners in Saudi Arabia and to raise a ransom.
