Hostage families appeal for release

The relatives of three British men taken hostage in Iraq have given their reaction to reports that two of them are believed to have been killed.

The Foreign Office believes that security guards Alan McMenemy, from Glasgow, and Alec Maclachlan, from South Wales, have been killed, while Peter Moore, from Lincoln, is still missing.

Two other British men, who were kidnapped with them in 2007, have been shot - their bodies were returned in June.
