24 April 2011 - Investigators examining claims that British troops committed abuses in Iraq have begun interviewing the alleged victims.
The Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT) started taking statements last month from the first of more than 150 Iraqis who say they suffered ill-treatment at the hands of UK forces after the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
Ministers set up IHAT last year to investigate the large number of allegations emerging from Iraq amid calls for a public inquiry into the claims.
Because of the dangers of travelling to Iraq and the problems of getting the Iraqis visas to come to Britain, the interviews are being carried out in another country in the region, which has not been identified.
An IHAT spokesman said: "We can confirm IHAT investigators started interviewing the alleged Iraqi victims in March 2011.
"It would be inappropriate to comment on the locations of the interviews. They took place in a third-party country and we are very grateful for the co-operation of the country concerned.
"There are no interviews currently being conducted but IHAT investigations are ongoing."
IHAT is made up of more than 80 Royal Military Police and former civilian detectives led by retired Staffordshire Police CID head Geoff White. {continued}
