The third day of the court martial of three British soldiers who allegedly abused Iraqi prisoners has been delayed for legal reasons.
The hearing is taking place at a British military base in the German city of Osnabrück.
In London, it is reported that British Prime Minister Tony Blair's spokesman told reporters the move was due to a 'defence application' but would not elaborate.
Photographs published this week - some including the soldiers - appeared to show naked detainees being forced to simulate sex acts.
British newspapers also published photographs showing an Iraqi man dangling from a forklift truck and a soldier with his foot raised over a bound Iraqi.
