Two men arrested over Australian fires

Two men were arrested today in connection with the wildfires that have swept through southeastern Australia, killing as many as 300 people.

Victoria state police said the two suspects -- who had been taken into custody and were "assisting" police earlier -- had been behaving suspiciously in or near Marysville, a small village where roughly 100 people have died in the fires.

It was not immediately clear what the behavior was or what charges the men may face.

Meanwhile, authorities said they fear the death toll from the fires, which sat at 181 on Wednesday, could reach as high as 300.
