Iranian arrest of British servicemen: developments

The 15 British Navy personnel taken captive by the Iranian army are reportedly being questioned in Tehran. The group of sailors and marines - which includes one woman - was operating off the Iraqi coast on the 23rd March 2007 when they were seized at gunpoint. Iran claims they strayed into their waters and has accused Britain of "blatant aggression". The Foreign Office held fresh crisis talks with the Iranian ambassador to demand their release - but refused to confirm if the group had been moved.
