Calls to free Iraq hostages

The Foreign Secretary David Miliband has called on the kidnappers of five Britons held in Iraq to release them immediately and unconditionally.

The men, a computer expert and his four bodyguards, were seized in Baghdad two years ago this week.

The BBC's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner has been talking exclusively to the hostages' families. They have told him they have been shown clues that all five are alive and being well-treated by their captors.
