Pictures appear to show RAF man posing with dead Taliban fighter

The Ministry of Defence has begun an investigation after photographs emerged which appear to show one or two British service personnel posing with the dead body of an enemy fighter.

The images were taken in the aftermath of an attack on the main British base in Afghanistan in September 2012.

Two members of the RAF Regiment have been suspended from frontline duties.
