The Taliban in Pakistan have released a video in which Ajmal Khan, the Vice Chancellor of Peshawar's Islamic College University, who was kidnapped by the Taliban a few years ago, urges the Pakistani government to free four Taliban militants in exchange for his release.
In the new video, telecast March 7, 2012 by Pakistani television channels GEO TV and AVT Khyber, the white-bearded Ajmal Khan looks exhausted and weak. This is the fourth Taliban video of him in captivity.
