Two US citizens have been arrested and are now being held by the Iraqi army in the north of the country, Al Jazeera has learnt.

Atheel al-Nujaify, the governor of Mosul, revealed on Friday that the two men had been held for several days.

Al-Nujaify told Al Jazeera that the men's passports showed that they had visited Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Lebanon, where they were said to have met members of Hezbollah.

The US embassy in Baghdad confirmed that the men were being held, but denied reports that it had requested the men be turned over to US officials.
