"Two more held over Iraq 'abuse' video"

...Military police today arrested two more soldiers in connection with the video showing the apparent abuse of Iraqi civilians by British troops.

The arrests - which bring the number detained up to three - came as the fallout from the footage saw the provincial council in Basra suspend relations with the British.

The video, filmed in the restive town of Amara in the Maysan province, just north of Basra, in January 2004 appeared to show defenceless young Iraqis being kicked and attacked with batons, to the apparent amusement of the cameraman.
