A dead body found in Iraq has been identified as that of missing US hostage Tom Fox, the US State Department has said. Fox, who had been an activist with the Christian Peacemaker Teams, was abducted along with three colleagues in late 2005. A video of British citizen Norman Kember and Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden was shown on Al-Jazeera last week, with a superimposed date of February 28th. Although the three hostages were alive in the video, their current condition is not known. Tom Fox was 54 years old. Before his abduction, he had been blogging about his experiences in Iraq.
