War graves hit over Iraq 'abuse'

Snip from BBC News:

Vandals have attacked more than 30 Commonwealth war graves in Gaza City in an apparent act of retaliation for the abuse of prisoners in Iraq.

Some 33 graves were desecrated or destroyed in the cemetery for troops from the two world wars.

Photographs of US and British soldiers allegedly abusing Iraqi prisoners were hung from some of the tombstones.

The British Consulate General in Jerusalem said it was investigating the incident.
