Britain's military says it is investigating allegations of inappropriate behavior by British troops in Afghanistan.

The Sun newspaper on Wednesday reported that two soldiers had been arrested for allegedly abusing an Afghan boy and girl, both around 10-years-old, and videotaping the incident.

The British Defense Ministry says the the investigations branch of the Royal Military Police has launched a probe into the allegations, which come a week after a video surfaced showing U.S. soldiers urinating on Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

The ministry had no further comment.
