UK troops in Iraqi torture probe
The paper claims British soldiers handed over the photos
The Ministry of Defence has launched an investigation into allegations that British soldiers have been pictured torturing an Iraqi prisoner.
The photographs, obtained by the Daily Mirror newspaper, show a suspected thief being beaten and urinated on.
Downing Street swiftly condemned the pictures, echoing concerns it earlier expressed over images of Iraqi prisoners being abused by US troops.

The UK's top general, Sir Mike Jackson said if the allegations proved to be true, the members of the Queen's Lancashire regiment, involved were not fit to wear the uniform.
Defence Minister Adam Ingram told the Mirror the behaviour was "clearly unacceptable".
If true, those responsible should be arrested by MoD Police and removed from Iraq immediately
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the soldiers told the paper no charges were brought against the unnamed captive.
After being beaten and urinated on, he was driven away and dumped from the back of a moving vehicle, the soldiers claimed, unaware if he was dead. 8O 8O 8O
