Murdered hostage’s brother offers support

PAUL Bigley, whose brother was horrifically beheaded a year ago after being seized by Iraqi radicals last night pledged “whatever help I can possibly give” to hostage Rory Carroll and his family in Ireland.

The 56-year-old Dutch-based brother of hostage Kenneth Bigley, whose terrifying ordeal at the hands of one of the world’s most ruthless terrorist groups led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, captured the attention of the world in October 2004, said “my heart goes out to Rory and his family and what they must be enduring right now.

“Their desperation and fear is something my family has felt acutely so we know what they must be going through.”
