Two British soldiers in Iraq have been arrested as part of an inquiry into pornography offences, one of them over allegations relating to children, the Ministry of Defence said.

A defence ministry spokeswoman said: "There has been an incident and there were two soldiers in Iraq who were being investigated for alleged pornography offences.

"No charges have yet been brought and the investigation is ongoing."

Earlier the ministry said one of the soldiers was being questioned in Iraq by the army's Special Investigations Branch and unspecified "equipment" had been seized and returned to Britain for analysis.
