Iran Says Has Evidence of Worse Abuses in Iraq
TEHRAN (BGNES)- Revolutionary Guards spokesman Brigadier Massoud Jazayeri said he would shortly make public the documents, which would show that the abuse of Iraqi prisoners was still taking place.
"There are documents obtained via a certain channel which show that this (abuse) has been practiced since long ago and is far worse than what has been leaked," Jazayeri told the ISNA students news agency.
"American officials, particularly the defense secretary (Donald Rumsfeld) have expressed their remorse about the incident. Nevertheless, such tortures are still taking place," he said.
The United States has been rocked in recent days by a series of graphic images showing prisoners being humiliated and mistreated.
Britain, Washington's main ally in the occupation, is also investigating reports its troops have abused Iraqi prisoners.
Jazayeri said it was clear that U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair had been fully aware of the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners.
"Bush must be tried as the head of the American torturers in Iraq," he said.
Iran and the United States have been arch enemies since shortly after the 1979 Islamic revolution when radical Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 52 hostages for 444 days. /Reuters
