Iraq 'hostage Briton' video aired

An Arabic TV channel has aired a video claiming to
show one of five Britons captured in Iraq eight
months ago.

The footage showed a man making an appeal to Prime
Minister Gordon Brown to help secure the hostages'
freedom.

"My name is Peter Moore, I have been held here for
nearly eight months now," the man said in English.

He asks Mr Brown to free nine Iraqis in exchange
for the release of the Britons seized in May 2007.
The Foreign Office has condemned the release of
the video.

The video shows the man speaking in English with
an Arabic translation played over the top.
