Two Britons suspected of fighting for the Taliban have been arrested by British armed forces in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said.
The MoD said the pair, who it said "claim to be British nationals", have been detained.
And the Foreign Office also said two Britons were being held and embassy staff were "providing assistance".
It comes as responsibility for security in the capital of volatile Helmand province was handed to Afghan forces.
