MoD probes new Iraq abuse claims


The Ministry of Defence has said it is investigating new allegations of abuse by the UK military in Iraq.

Lawyers acting for former Iraqi detainees are calling for a full public inquiry into all abuse claims made during UK military involvement there.

One allegation is that two soldiers raped a 16-year-old boy in 2003.

Armed forces minister Bill Rammell said such claims were taken seriously but formal inquiries must be held "without judgements being made prematurely".

"Allegations of this nature are taken very seriously. However allegations must not be taken as fact," he said.

'Sexually humiliated'

A public inquiry is already under way into the death of Iraqi civilian Baha Mousa, who died in British custody with 93 separate injuries.

A report by the Independent newspaper said 33 cases of alleged abuse had now come to light.

Soldiers 'hit and kicked' Mousa

A post-mortem examination showed Mr Mousa had at least 93 injuries

A former British soldier has admitted for the first time that he saw two of his colleagues kicking and hitting an Iraqi prisoner shortly before he died.

Garry Reader told a public inquiry how, then a private, he had tried in vain to resuscitate Baha Mousa in 2003.

He said he had not told the truth previously, but did believe Cpl Donald Payne and Pte Aaron Cooper had caused Mr Mousa's death that September.

Mr Reader said he had been afraid speaking out would damage his career.

Mr Mousa and nine other civilians were arrested at a hotel in Basra in 2003 and taken into UK military custody.

The father-of-two died the following day, having suffered 93 separate injuries, including fractured ribs and a broken nose.

Cpl Payne became the first member of the British armed forces to be convicted of a war crime when he pleaded guilty at a court martial in September 2006 to inhumanely treating civilians.

He was dismissed from the Army and sentenced to one year in a civilian jail.

I wonder if this has to do with the photos that Obama & the Courts won't show. Some reports stated that those photos show, among other horrible acts, a teenage Iraqi getting sodomized by somebody (articles didn't really specify that they were American, just that one looked 'dark').

the british have plenty of experience with "insurgencies", and responding accordingly with jack-booted occupation.
