LONDON - Former hostage Peter Moore says he is thrilled to be reunited with his family in England after being held captive for more than two years.
Moore says in a statement released Sunday by the British Foreign Office that he is "obviously delighted" to be back home.
The 36-year-old computer specialist also asks that he and his family be given the space and time to get to know one another again.
Moore and four other British men working as his bodyguards were kidnapped in May 2007 outside the Finance Ministry in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
Three of the other men are confirmed to have been killed, and the fourth is believed to be dead.
Moore's captors released him Wednesday to British authorities in Baghdad.
