Pictures last night of two blood-covered bodies were said to be those of two men from the German embassy in Baghdad who went missing on Wednesday on a road near Falluja. The two were embassy guards. German television claimed they were members of Germany's elite anti-terror GSG-9 security force.

The first pictures were released last night of the British man missing for six days, who is believed to be this country's first victim of the hostage-taking spree that has marked the escalation of the conflict in Iraq.

Fears have grown over the fate of Gary Teeley, 37, a British civilian contractor working as a consultant to a Qatari laundry firm in the southern Iraqi city of Nasariya.

Teeley was working at an American airbase near the city. Foreign Office officials confirmed his disappearance last Thursday, but have had no further news.
