The British Defense Ministry said the arrest was made on 12 February but declined to give further details. A spokesman only said the arrest was made "in conjunction with the investigation."


The video, shown on British as well as Arabic television stations, shows a group of soldiers dragging Iraqi protesters, beating them with batons and kicking them.
