LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland said another two employees had been suspended as part of an investigation by the bank into failings in its foreign exchange business.

"We can confirm that two members of staff have been suspended as part of the on-going FX investigation at the bank," the bank said on Wednesday.

RBS launched an internal review into its FX activities after it was one of six banks fined a combined $4.3 billion last month for failing to stop traders trying to manipulate currency markets. RBS had already suspended six employees.
