Gunshot-hit Britons die in Iraq

Two British hostages who died after being held by kidnappers in Iraq had been shot, a television channel reported on Tuesday.

The bodies of Jason Swindlehurst, 38, and Jason Creswell, 39, were handed over to the British embassy in Baghdad on June 19. According to the television channel, the coroners report concluded that the men had died from gunshot wounds.

The pair was among four guards protecting British computer consultant Peter Moore when around 40 heavily armed militants seized all five men in the Iraqi capital in May 2007.
