3 UK Soldiers Acquitted in Drowning of Iraqi Teen

HeadlineJun 07, 2006

In Britain, a military court has found three British soldiers not guilty in the drowning death of a 15-year old Iraqi teen. The soldiers were accused of forcing four Iraqis to swim across a canal by threatening to shoot them. The 15-year old, Ahmed Jabber Kareem, did not know how to swim. In a statement, the British Defense Ministry said the soldiers have the army’s full support to continue their military careers.
