LONDON -- Britain has arrested two special forces officers for leaking secrets in a move apparently related to a botched Libyan operation, police said Saturday.

Metropolitan Police said the unnamed men, ages 33 and 35, were arrested March 2 on suspicion of violating the Official Secrets Act, The Daily Telegraph reported.

It is not known what information the men are suspected of leaking.

The arrests occurred shortly before six Special Air Service commandos and two other Britons were detained by Libyan rebels in Benghazi.
