UK halts 'bomb detector' exports

Britain has banned the export of a hand-held machine marketed as a bomb-detection device in Iraq and Afghanistan because of allegations that it does not work.

Meanwhile, the head of the UK-based company that makes the device has been arrested on suspicion of fraud.
