More disturbing pictures have emerged about the alleged torture of Iraqi prisoners - this time at the hands of British soldiers.

The Army has launched a full investigation.

Photographs in the Daily Mirror show an Iraqi being battered with rifle butts, threatened with execution, and urinated on by British troops.

During his eight-hour ordeal, the suspected thief had his jaw broken and teeth smashed, the Mirror reported.

The news follows the publication of images showing US troops humiliating and torturing Iraqi prisoners.
