Britons arrested in Kenya 'members of Islamic militia'
FOUR Britons believed to have fought alongside a Somali Islamic militia group are being held by Kenyan police.
The men were detained on January 20 and Kenyan officials say they will be deported.
The Foreign Office said the men were apparently arrested trying to leave neighbouring Somalia.
Ethiopian forces invaded the mainly Muslim Somalia in December to stop an Islamic movement ousting the weak, internationally-recognised government.
Last month there were reports that Britons had been fighting alongside the Islamic forces, with some killed, injured or captured in the fighting.
Somalia's deputy prime minister also claimed that some financial support for the Islamic militant movement in his country was coming from the UK.
A spokeswoman for the British Embassy said: "We had confirmation from the Kenyan authorities that they are holding four British nationals.
"We continue to press urgently for consular access so that we can confirm their nationality and offer every assistance."
The Britons were among a group of ten foreign nationals held, including two Americans, one of whom is wanted in the US for links to radical movements.
