Iraq

The deformed children of Fallujah

and yes, that is part of the effects of the US/UK invasion of Iraq and also the later us led assault on the city.

UK army 'rotten', Iraq probe told

British soldiers who abused an Iraqi detainee who died in their custody were not just "a few bad apples", a public inquiry has been told.

Mr Singh, counsel for Mr Mousa's family and the other Iraqis detained alongside him, said: "This case is not just about beatings or a few bad apples.
