Ex-hostage relives mock shooting

Mar 11 2010

Former hostage Peter Moore has described the moment he thought he had been shot dead when his captors staged a mock execution.

The computer expert, who was abducted with his four bodyguards in Iraq in May 2007, was released in December after two and a half years in captivity.

The bodies of three of his bodyguards - Jason Creswell, 39, originally from Glasgow, Alec MacLachlan, 30, from Llanelli, South Wales, and Jason Swindlehurst, 38, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire - were passed to UK authorities last year. A fourth bodyguard, Alan McMenemy, 34, from Glasgow, is also believed to have been killed.
