The video shows one hostage, Peter Moore, saying the five are being treated well, Channel 4 News said. He calls for their release.
The video was shot eight days ago and has not been released to the media.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman did not give details but said it was a "significant development".
Peter Moore and his four security guards were kidnapped May 29, 2007, by a group of about 40 men disguised as Iraqi policemen. A video was released in February 2008, in which Moore pleaded with the British government to free nine Iraqi prisoners in exchange for their release. And in June 2008, the kidnappers claimed that one of the security guards, identified only as Jason, had committed suicide after giving hope of ever being freed. This report has never been confirmed, however.
Please pray harder than ever for the protection and rescue of these hostages, as it appears that events are at a critical point and could finally result in their deliverance from their captors.
