British hostage Peter Moore has been released alive from captivity in Iraq, the Foreign Office has said.

Mr Moore, an IT consultant from Lincoln, was seized at the Iraqi Ministry of Finance in Baghdad in May 2007.

Three fellow guards seized at the same time were later shot dead and their bodies flown back to the UK.

Alan McMenemy, a security guard from Glasgow, is understood to remain a hostage in Iraq.

Mr Moore had been working for US management consultancy Bearingpoint in Iraq. The other men were security contractors employed to guard him.

The bodies of Jason Swindlehurst, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, and Jason Creswell, of Glasgow, were returned to the UK in June 2009, followed by that of Alec MacLachlan, of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, in September.
