The BBC, which never misses the opportunity to try to vilify honourable men, while at the same time worrying so terribly about the so- called 'human rights' of terrorists & murdrers - this 'very British corporation is now gleefully reporting an enquiry that accuse British soldiers of wrong doing in Iraq.
A "very angry" sergeant fired bullets into the bodies of Iraqis who were still "twitching" after a gun battle, the Al-Sweady inquiry has heard.
So reports the BBC
The actual enquiry also heard that a soldier stamped on the head of a dead Iraqi and other British Soldiers attacked detainees.
The inquiry heard soldiers did not agree with his version of events and even some Iraqis denied this took place.
The inquiry is examining claims, denied by the Ministry of Defence, that UK troops mistreated and killed detainees after the 2004 "Battle of Danny Boy".
It seeks investigate the events surrounding the deaths of approx 20 Iraqi men and is concerned with a battle during the Iraq war which is named after a British army checkpoint near the town of Majar al-Kabir in Iraq.
Lawyers acting for several Iraqi clients claim some were taken alive and mistreated or unlawfully killed at Camp Abu Naji and Shaibah Logistics Base.
Well they would wouldn't they? Being as they're making handsome sums out of vilifying honourable men.
The enquiry the alleged incident took place in the aftermath of a clash, which began when a British "rover" group was ambushed and set upon as it travelled to Camp Abu Naji.
A British Army sergeant allegedly "put a full magazine of bullets into two Iraqi bodies that had been 'twitching' and he also fired into the bodies of the other dead gunmen in the ditch".
No mention of course in the BBC report that this occurred after a heavy battle, where tensions were high, the soldiers had been under the pressure of battle & as stated by wittnesses, the serverly wounded Iraqis 'were certainly going to die anyway'
Also no mention that in many cases during and after the Iraq invasion in 2003, wounded Iraqis had suddenly fired at troops or were even known to blow themselves up as British or American troops came to help.
The inquiry was also told that - in a separate incident in a derelict building after the battle - two British soldiers were seen hitting and kicking a detainee.
Oh didums
Rightly stated by soldiers who were in the battle, "Everyone was upset about the whole scenario of British soldiers being ambushed and attacked not by Iraqi soldiers , but by those they were in Iraq to assist and who days before had smiled and waved at them"
The Al-Sweady inquiry - set up in 2010 - at the British tax payers expense, is named after one of the Iraqi men, 19-year-old Hamid al-Sweady, who is allegedly to have been 'unlawfully' killed while being held following the battle.
Three years passed between the setting up of the inquiry and its opening as staff, including retired detectives, trawled through as many as 12,000 documents.
Evidence from Iraqi witnesses was heard from March-July.
The inquiry has so far cost the British tax payer more than £19m so far and is due to report back by the end of 2014.
It would be interesting to see if the BBC ever reports any enquiries into the be-heading of US & UK service personnel and civilian contractors, not just into the killers but more the inaction of the British and American authorities at the time.
It would also be interesting to see the BBC reporting an enquiry into the murder and corruption attributed to the 'so-called' government of Iraq?
But we at this blog are used to seeing the British media and indeed the whole British system appeasing the enemies of the free world while at the same time rubbishing the name of good and brave people.
Gaza and The West Bank are regular targets for the British as well as western media to home in on and as with this case above, these little grey busybodies always seem to take on the side of the rioters, terrorists and hate mongers in that battle ground of the war on terror.
Some of these 'journalists' and 'officials' should try doing the job soldiers do ON THEIR BEHALF then then might think twice before they put pen to paper -
But then don't hold you're breath the British legal system pays good money to appease evil while betraying good.
