BAGHDAD - A French journalist who was abducted in Baghdad more than seven weeks ago made a distraught plea for help in a video that surfaced on Tuesday.
Florence Aubenas, 43-year-old veteran war correspondent for the daily Liberation, was last seen leaving her hotel in the Iraqi capital with her translator on Jan. 5.
The video was dropped off the offices of an international news agency in Baghdad, but it wasn't possible to immediately verify the tape's authenticity or determine when it was made.
"Please help me, my health is very bad," said Aubenas, who was alone in the tape and appeared exhausted and upset.
"Please, it's urgent now."
She begged French legislator Didier Julia to help win her release.
"I ask particularly for the help of the French deputy Didier Julia. Help me, Mr. Julia, help me. It's urgent," she said.
Julia, a member of the lower house of parliament from President Jacques Chirac's party, made an unofficial visit to Iraq last September to try to free two other French journalists abducted on Aug. 20.
It didn't work and the journalists, Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, criticized the mission when they were finally released in December.

The video is the first word from Aubenas that has surfaced since her abduction - at least publicly. She has previously covered other war zones, including Kosovo, Rwanda and Afghanistan.
