"An MoD spokesman said: "As the then Secretary of State made clear to Parliament in February 2009, the two individuals in question were insurgents captured in Baghdad as they posed an imperative threat to security of the Iraqi people and our armed forces. Their capture was legitimate and justified."

Members of the LET and captured in Baghdad by British Forces.

That should tell us the following things:

1: Being members of the LET, most certainly their capture WAS legitimate and justified.

2: If captured in Baghdad they were at all times under US and not British "jurisdiction"

3: The only British Forces to operate in Baghdad were the SAS under the command of US General David Petraeus (who thought very highly of them)

4: Of course anybody captured in Baghdad would be handed over to the Americans, the British had no separate base in Baghdad and definitely no facilities for holding prisoners.

This is a matter solely for the Pakistani Government and the Government of the United States of America.
