Freed British hostage Peter Moore has arrived back in the UK following his two-and-a-half year kidnap ordeal, BBC reported.
The 36-year-old computer expert, from Lincoln, landed at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire shortly after 1700 GMT.
Mr Moore was taken hostage in Baghdad in May 2007 and released on Wednesday. Three of his British bodyguards were killed. A fourth is thought to be dead.
Mr Moore's step-parents said they were "thrilled" to have him back safely and they had "a lot of catching up to do".
Asking the media for space and privacy, Fran and Pauline Sweeney added: "We would like to have time with Peter on our own."
