Eight British servicemen who were arrested after straying into Iranian waters earlier this week have arrived by plane in Kuwait.

They travelled there from Dubai after their release yesterday.

The six Royal Marine and two Royal Navy personnel were detained on Monday after their patrol boats strayed into the Shatt al-Arab waterway which marks Iran's border with southern Iraq.
