Two British commandos, members of the secretive SAS were arrested by Iraqi police yesterday in the southern Iraqi city of Basra. The two men, dressed in Arab garb and driving an unmarked car, drew the attention of police.
British forces using tanks broke down the walls of Basra jail to free two service personnel arrested for firing on Iraqi policemen. Defence secretary John Reid has defended the actions of the British forces.
The MoD refused to comment after officials said that they were undercover officers dressed as Arabs.
