Two British nationals have been detained by British and Afghan forces in western Afghanistan. Unconfirmed reports say they were arrested as part of an anti-terrorism operation.

The Ministry of Defence has now confirmed that two people are being held for questioning in a secure facility in Kandahar. A spokesman said: "We can confirm that two British passport holders were detained in an ISAF operation conducted jointly last week by UK forces with Afghans in support".
