| Soldier arrested over hoax photos | ||
| 2004-05-19 | ||
| At least one soldier has been arrested in connection with faked Iraqi torture pictures published in the Daily Mirror, the Ministry of Defence has said. A spokeswoman said it was a "routine" part of the investigation. The newspaper apologised for publishing the hoax pictures on Saturday following the sacking of editor Piers Morgan. The Sunday Telegraph said Trinity Mirror executives planned to reveal the identity of its sources for the story to the Royal Military Police (RMP).
An MoD spokeswoman said: "At least one soldier was arrested to be questioned under caution in connection with the Mirror photographs." She said no charges were brought.

| #5 Anyone else willing to vote for charges of "aiding and abetting the enemy?" Hard labor and short rations are all that should await this maggot. |

| #1 If they have arrested the guy that actually did it, they should send him and that pompous arse Piers Morgan over to Iraq to show then the folly of their ways. |
