UK troops deny mutilating Iraq insurgents’ corpses

“Troops are accused of unlawfully killing 20 or more Iraqis at Camp Abu Naji near Majar-al-Kabir in May 2004, and ill-treating detainees there as well as later at Shaibah Logistics Base, also in southwest Iraq.  But at a hearing in London on Monday, Colonel Adam Griffiths said he had not seen any evidence to suggest that around a dozen bodies taken to Camp Abu Naji were mutilated before being returned to relatives, or that detainees had been mistreated.  He suggested that the rumours sprang from ‘ignorance amongst the local population as to the traumatic injuries that can be suffered in combat’ as well as insurgents’ efforts to discredit the US-led troops that had invaded Iraq in 2003.”
