The kidnappers of five British hostages, who have been held in Iraq since last year, have said in a video that one man has committed suicide.
He allegedly took his own life on May 25th, just four days before the 1 year anniversary of their capture. The kidnappers used the incident to blame the UK for their "lack of seriousness", while placing the blame for the man's death squarely at their feet.
One of the remaining hostages also made a statement in the video, obtained by the Sunday Times, where he remarks that: "Physically, I'm not doing well...psychologically, I'm doing a lot worse. I want to see my family again."
British PM Gordon Brown is in Baghdad at the moment, and has promised that he is taking the situation "very seriously", and that "There are many people working behind the scenes trying to find a solution."
