Polish soldiers together with soldiers from other coalition countries have been accused of abusing detainees sent to the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, reports Associated Press Agency. The Polish army however has denied these claims.
According to the AP news agency, the information comes from a US sergeant, who told investigators that Polish soldiers had injured two detainees before they arrived at the prison.
Polish Defence Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski rejected the allegations."This is all some unverified leak," he told Polish television. "It all gives an impression of not being a serious allegation." He said that Poland would ask Washington for explanations.
I can play this game -
A US captain has accused the AP of running a child prostitution ring in Bagdhad. The AP denied the charge but refused to let investigators look at their computers which are allegedly loaded with child porn.
The abuse was terrible.The Polish soldiers told the prisoners Iraqi jokes.
It's not so funny, because this problem may result with withdrawal of Polisch troops from Iraq.
