Ex-soldier accused of Iraq bar killings

A former British soldier accused of murdering two colleagues during a drunken row in Iraq appeared at a Baghdad court today.

Former paratrooper Daniel Fitzsimons, (aged 33), is accused of shooting fellow British private security guard Paul McGuigan, (aged 37), and Australian Darren Hoare, (aged 37), after a row in a bar inside a compound in the Iraqi capital in August last year.
