BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - British hostage Kenneth Bigley, who pleaded tearfully last month for Prime Minister Tony Blair to meet his kidnappers' demands, was beheaded by his captors, his brother said Friday.

"We can confirm that the family has now received absolute proof that Ken Bigley was executed by his captors," Philip Bigley said in a statement he read on national television in Britain.

"The family here in Liverpool believe that our government did everything it possibly could to secure the release of Ken in this impossible situation."

But another brother, Paul, said Blair has "blood on his hands." He made the comment in a written statement to the Stop the War Coalition, an activist group in Britain that opposes the conflict.
