Brit soldier 'killed Iraq girl aged eight as she played'

MoD fury at leak claims

A British soldier shot dead an eight-year-old Iraqi girl as she played in the street, it was claimed yesterday.

The explosive allegation was made at a press conference about the secret "war logs" from the US military released by the whistleblowing Wikileaks website. Lawyer Phil Shiner said the murder happened while soldiers were handing out sweets to children.

He said: "The tank stopped at the end of the street, she's there in her yellow dress, a rifleman pops up and blows her away." The claim came among revelations that secret reports by the US military showed a total of 122,000 violent deaths in the six years of sectarian violence which followed the 2003 invasion. The Pentagon and Ministry of Defence said Wikileaks was putting soldiers' lives at risk in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The revelations show US soldiers were complicit in abuse of Iraqi prisoners, never investigating further on instruction of their superiors.

Says who?

An AP photographer? A Taliban terrorist? A Code Pink organizer who happened to be in the vicinity?

“She out there in her yellow dress, picking flowers, amongst a throng of puppies, singing in the most beautiful voice ever to grace a humankind...”

Sounds like BS to me.

There has to be a wedding involved somehow. Arabs are absolutely obsessed with weddings in their atrocity propaganda.

Let’s see...
OK, got it. She was wearing the yellow dress which her mother made for her by hand because she was on her way to her sister’s wedding. There you go. Fixed it.

And then some evil solder, out of the clear blue sky, just popped up and shot her and her favorite puppy to keep her from the wedding...

IIRC the Iraqis of Basra believed that the British unleashed giant badgers to prowl the streets at night.

I wonder if that ‘fact’ made it into Wikileaks too?
