New Iraqi Prime Minister Personally Executed Prisoners in Iraq - Investigation U
Iraq's Human Rights Minister has announced he is opening an investigation into reports that Iraq's new unelected Prime Minister Iyad Allawi personally shot dead six suspected members of the Iraqi resistance at a Baghdad police station just days before he became prime minister. The allegations first appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald. The newspaper based their report on two eyewitnesses who said Allawi used a pistol to execute six prisoners who were handcuffed and blindfolded. Allawi denied the report. The story was broken by an award-winning reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald who has since left Iraq for his own safety. [more] and
