Military police quiz soldier over Iraqi PoW 'torture' pictures

MILITARY police were questioning a British soldier in custody yesterday after photographs emerged allegedly showing troops "torturing" Iraqi prisoners of war.

Photograph developers were thought to have called police after they became concerned about a number of pictures on a roll of film that had been handed in to their shop for processing.

One of the images showed an Iraqi PoW gagged and bound, hanging in netting from a fork-lift truck driven by a British soldier, according to the Sun newspaper.
