Integrate Problem

When I run

Integrate[1/Pi^2  1/(1 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^2, {z, -Infinity, Infinity},
  Assumptions -> {Im[x] == 0, Im[y] == 0, Im[z] == 0}]

I get
(I*(Log[-(I/Sqrt[1 + x^2 + y^2])] -
    Log[I/Sqrt[1 + x^2 + y^2]]))/
  (2*Pi^2*(1 + x^2 + y^2)^(3/2))

I would like

1/(2*Pi ) 1/(1 + x^2 + y^2)^3/2

for an answer. How do I get Mathematica to forego the complex
answer?

thanks, Stewart
