British hostage bodies identified

The bodies of two British hostages handed over in Iraq have been identified, the BBC has learned.

The families have been told, and are being given time to inform relatives, the BBC's Frank Gardner said.

The identified remains, which are still in Baghdad, belong to two of the four security guards protecting IT worker Peter Moore, the Foreign Office said.

Mr Moore, from Lincoln, and his guards were captured by armed militants at the Ministry of Finance in Baghdad in 2007.
