Missing Danish man 'dead in Iraq'

A Danish man reported missing in Iraq last week has been found dead, the Foreign Ministry in Copenhagen says.

The ministry was informed on Tuesday evening by the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority that Iraqi police found the man's body on 12 April.

"There is as yet no information about the perpetrators or a motive for the killing," the ministry reportedly said.

Denmark confirmed one of its citizens was missing in Iraq on 16 April. It did not name him.
