One of the abducted Bulgarian drivers in Iraq is begging for help, officials said Friday.

Experts at the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry analyzed the video that showed the two hostages. It was aired by al-Jazeera, and showed the handcuffed men with three militants standing behind them.

Voices couldn't be heard, but analysts managed to read the lips of one captive.

The militants threatened to kill them, unless the US frees all Iraqi detainees in 24 hours. The deadline expires at midnight.
