Alan McMenemy's body recovered five years after Iraq kidnap

The British Embassy in Baghdad has confirmed that a body handed over to them is that of Alan McMenemy, who was kidnapped in Iraq in 2007.
Mr McMenemy, a security guard from Glasgow, was snatched along with three other guards and an IT expert.
The bodies of Jason Swindlehurst, Jason Creswell and Alec MacLachlan were returned in 2009. Peter Moore was released alive in 2010.
Mr McMenemy's widow said his family would be comforted by having him home.
'Draw comfort' Roseleen McMenemy said: "Our families have suffered terrible uncertainty and distress over the past four years and eight months.
"We have worried about Alan every single minute of each waking day.
"We now know that we will shortly have Alan home again, this will allow us to properly grieve for him and we will draw some comfort from the fact that we have him home at last."
