Fresh appeal for Iraq hostages
Updated on 22 December 2008
Channel 4 News speaks to the relatives of one of the hostages and the friend of another - both were seized in Baghdad nineteen months ago.
It has been more than a year and a half without their loved ones - the second time a mother has had to tell her children their father will not be coming home for Christmas.
Nineteen months after five British hostages were seized in Iraq, Channel 4 News has spoken to some of their friends and relatives including one of their wives, who has given her first broadcast interview on the subject.
The men, one IT consultant and his four bodyguards, were snatched in Baghdad in May 2007. Since then contact with them has been limited, it seems, to hostage videos released by their captors.
