Retired police officers conduct investigation into claims that UK troops ‘murdered’ civilians
31 January 2011 - A team of retired British detectives is carrying out a unique “murder investigation” for a public inquiry examining allegations that UK soldiers killed and tortured civilians in Iraq.
The Al-Sweady Inquiry is looking into claims that 20 or more Iraqis were murdered and others suffered abuse after the “Battle of Danny Boy” in southern Iraq in 2004.
The inquiry appointed ex-British police officers headed by former Scotland Yard detective Stephen Condon to carry out the first detailed probe into the allegations.
They are effectively starting with a blank sheet after an earlier Royal Military Police inquiry was judged to be inadequate – it is not even clear how many Iraqis are alleged to have been killed.
This is believed to be a first for a public inquiry, which would normally take a fresh look at events that had already been closely examined. An inquiry spokesman said: “The first thing we’ve had to do is to interview the Iraqis to actually formalise what the allegations are. We’ve got these generic allegations but there’s no specifics there. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
