British soldiers accused of sickening *** assault on Iraqi boy, 14
Just days after the MoD has to pay out millions to the father of a man UK
soldiers beat to death, fresh claims of abuse emerge
British soldiers forced a boy of 14 to carry out an act of oral *** on a
fellow male prisoner in Iraq, according to shocking new allegations made
about the behaviour of British troops.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed yesterday that the Royal Military Police
(RMP) have launched an investigation. If the allegations are proved, it
would mark a sordid low in the behaviour of British troops in Iraq, and
damage further the reputation of Britain in the Middle East.
The victim, now 19, whom The Independent on Sunday has agreed to identify
only as Hassan, says he was rounded up with a friend while trying to steal
milk cartons from a food distribution centre. He was whipped, beaten and
forced to strip ****d.
"They made us sit on each other's laps," he said. "They were enjoying
humiliating and abusing us, I wished I was dead at this moment. Then they
made me sit with Tariq... where I was forced to put Tariq's ***** in my
mouth. The other two were made to do the same."
Court action is ongoing over a series of allegations surrounding the
British
base Camp Breadbasket and incidents that took place there in May 2003.
There
have been allegations of simulated ***ual abuse of Iraqis by British
troops,
but this, if true, would be the first example of actual ***ual abuse.
Soldiers rounding up looters as part of an operation codenamed Ali Baba
took
photographs of prisoners suspended in nets from forklift trucks and others
forced to strip ****d and adopt simulated *** positions.
The photographs caused outrage around the world when they were published,
after a British soldier took them to be developed at a high-street shop.
An
RMP investigation led to just four soldiers being jailed for up to two
years
in 2005. A number of the alleged victims, including Hassan, are suing the
MoD for damages.
