Iraqis tortured and killed by British troops (Part 1 of 2)

Below we publish the first part of a two-part article on allegations of brutality against civilians by British soldiers occupying Iraq. The second part will be published tomorrow.

Iraqis tortured and killed by British troops
By Harvey Thompson
10 March 2004

Reports are filtering out about the brutal treatment of Iraqis by the occupying British armed forces.

The growing number of cases of alleged beatings, torture and murder of Iraqis reveal that the British Army is conducting just as dirty and brutal a war in the south of Iraq as its US counterparts are waging in the north.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has refused to release details of any investigations, except to issue the recent statement, �Any suggestion soldiers will be charged with manslaughter is pure speculation at this stage.�
