Video footage has emerged of a former FBI agent who went missing in Iran in March 2007, showing him alive but held hostage by an unknown group.
The family of Robert Levinson, an American private detective who worked for the FBI in the past, have posted a video on the internet showing the 63-year-old looking lean and haggard, asking the US government to meet the demands of his kidnappers.
"I have been treated well, but I need the help of the United States government to answer the requests of the group that has held me for three and a half years," he said, without elaborating on what his captors were asking for.
