Peter's friends

By Andy Davies

Updated on 02 December 2008

Friends of the hostage Peter Moore speak out as they launch a campaign to secure his release.

IT consultant Moore and four security guards, Alec, Alan, Jason and Jason, were taken hostage in Baghdad 18 months ago.

Their story rarely makes the news, with minimal coverage of the case largely at the request of the foreign office.

But the young computer consultant's friends, with the backing of his family, have now decided to speak out, to challenge this virtual news blackout, and pay public tribute to their friend.

Friends will be holding a vigil for Peter Moore at 5.30pm on Friday 12 December at St. Brides, Fleet Street
