A Japanese journalist is reporting U.S. soldiers assaulted and detained him after he took photographs of U.S. raids of homes in Baghdad that resulted in the death of Iraqi civilians. This according to the Japan Times. The reporter 47-year-old Kazutaka Sato was allegedly beaten, thrown to the ground by U.S. troops, had his hands tied and was detained for an hour.
The reporter said the U.S. soldiers may have been trying to hide the bodies of civilians killed in the operation.
