LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - Five British paratroopers have been questioned over the death of a 17-year-old boy in Iraq earlier this year, according to the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

Military police also want to interview three other members of the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment who have since left the unit, it added.

The alleged killing is believed to have happened in southern Iraq when the eight paratroopers were patrolling in two vehicles, the paper said.

The unidentified boy was alleged to have been attacked when the unit stopped several Iraqis in a car.
