Iraq Hands Over Two Bodies To UK

Two bodies feared hostage in Iraq in 2007 are feared dead after bodies were handed to British officials in Iraq.

Mr Miliband said forensic tests were being carried out on the remains to see if they were of two of the five Britons who were captured in Iraq in May 2007.
