Source CNN ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/03/29/iran.uk.sailors/index.html ) TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran released Thursday what it says is a second letter from captured British sailor Faye Turney in which she criticizes British policy in Iraq. "Isn't it time for us to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future?" said the letter, addressed to the British Parliament and released to media organizations by the Iranian embassy in London, England. It was the second letter in two days said to be from Turney, 26, who has also been shown on Iranian television. The first asked her parents to look after her husband and young daughter. (Watch Turney say what happened when she was captured Video) Also Thursday, the U.N. Security Council appealed for the early release of the detainees, and Iranian state television broadcast five seconds of footage that it said was of the operation that seized the 15 British sailors and marines in Iranian territorial waters last week. Gunshots could be heard on the tape and a helicopter was shown above inflatable boats in choppy seas. Iranian guard boats were seen cruising around while a couple of Iranian guardsmen shot into the air. Then the video showed some of the British troops -- including Turney -- seated in a boat with an Iranian flag, presumably after their capture. An Iranian military official also appeared on state television giving a briefing about the incident, indicating on a map where he said it happened. (Watch the war of words build Video) The demonstration looked similar to a Wednesday briefing on the incident by British Vice Admiral Charles Style, who released a map of the Shatt al-Arab purporting to show the coordinates of the British boat when it was captured, along with pictures of handheld GPS devices showing the location. (Watch Iran's use of maps to show British 'trespassing' Video) Britain's Ministry of Defense said its position remained unchanged by the Iranian footage, The Associated Press reported.
