"The Foreign Office is investigating reports that US forces in Iraq have arrested two men who say they are British citizens.

The pair are being held with six other men, who claim to be US citizens, on suspicion of participating in attacks against coalition troops, a US officer told journalists in Iraq."
Although Rummy isn't so sure:
"At a Pentagon news briefing, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said: 'The folks that we have scooped up have, on a number of occasions, multiple identifications from different countries.

'They are quite skilled at confusing people as to what their real nationality is or where they came from and what they are doing.'"
