A BRITISH civil engineer from the North-west kidnapped in Iraq has been named as Kenneth Bigley.
Gunmen seized Mr Bigley and two Americans on Thursday from Baghdad's Mansour neighbourhood.
Mr Bigley's family are said to be "devastated" by the kidnapping and are praying for his safe return.
The 62-year-old is married and has one child.
