A Shia militia group in Iraq that's been holding five British men hostage for more than a year has released a video which claims that one of them is dead.
It says he committed suicide two months ago. British officials said there was no evidence as yet to support the claim. The five men, a computer technician and his four body guards, were seized in broad daylight from the finance ministry in May last year. The kidnappers are demanding the release of a number of Iraqi militiamen currently being held by US forces.
