Iraq hostage arrives back in Britain: Officials

London: A British man kidnapped in Iraq in 2007 arrived back in Britain on Friday, two days after his release from two-and-a-half years in captivity, the Foreign Office confirmed.
Peter Moore, a computer expert who was released unharmed on Wednesday, touched down at the Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, northwest of
London, a ministry spokesman said.

The flight from Jordan landed at about 2242 IST and Moore was met by Foreign Office staff. He will be reunited with his family later, the spokesman said, adding that they had "asked for privacy at this time".
