2nd Rape Charge Emerges Against Iraqi Forces

HeadlineFeb 22, 2007

Meanwhile, four Iraqi soldiers have been accused in the second sexual assault allegation against Iraqi forces this week. An Iraqi official says the soldiers raped a 50-year-old Sunni woman and then tried to rape her two daughters last week. This follows Monday’s report that two members of the Shiite-led police force raped a Sunni woman during the massive security crackdown on Baghdad. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki initially backed an investigation but later dismissed the charges and accused the woman of spreading propaganda.
