The families of five British men held hostage in Iraq for nearly two years have spoken of their continuing hopes for their loved ones' release.

The men, who were working as civilian contractors, were kidnapped by armed militants at the Iraqi Ministry of Finance in Baghdad in May 2007.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband has pleaded with the hostage-takers to free the Britons "immediately and unconditionally" ahead of the second anniversary of their abduction on Friday.
