Newspaper trades charges with coalition over: Alleged rape of two Iraqi girls
An Iraqi newspaper run by Sunni Muslims traded charges Monday with the US-led occupation authority over the alleged rape of two Iraqi girls by US soldiers, a claim denied by the coalition.
According to the daily As-Saah, the girls, aged 14 and 15, were talking to American soldiers in Suwaira, 180 kilometers (115 miles) south of Baghdad, on Friday when the soldiers suggested they accompany them to their camp to take pictures but then collectively raped the pair.
This allegation is "absolutely false," the US Central Command said in a statement.
"We take any claim of this nature extremely seriously, have looked into the allegations and found nothing whatsoever to substantiate the accusations -- including checking local hospital records," it said.
As-Saah said one of the girls died after she was raped by 18 soldiers while the other was killed by her family. Editor Naama Abderrazzak told AFP two of the daily's reporters had talked to residents of the area and seen the bodies of the two girls.
"After conducting a thorough investigation into this supposed account, we know this report is inaccurate, irresponsible, and purposefully attempts to damage the credibility of our forces and our efforts to create a secure and stable environment for the people of Iraq," Centcom said.
But Abderrazzak insisted he had asked his staff to thoroughly check the story and it was definitely true.
"Everyone in Suwairi is aware of this episode and it wouldn't take the Americans long to investigate it," he said.
The Centcom statement charged that As-Saah supported deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party when they were in power and said the newspaper's chairman, Ahmad al-Kubaissy, had "previously called for the unity of Shiite and Sunni Muslims to confront the US presence."
As-Saah began publishing after the US-led coalition ousted Saddam on April 9, but its managing editor Adeeb Shaaban, who has been in US custody for 10 days, was an aide of Saddam's elder son Uday and head of the Iraqi Photographers Union.
"The As-Saah newspaper clearly and blatantly abused its recently attained freedom to report responsibly to the Iraqi people," the Centcom statement said.
"Furthermore, this report contradicts the efforts made by the budding Iraqi media establishment to provide honest, fair, and accurate journalism to the public."
It said coalition forces would "take every step necessary to correct this report and ensure the Iraqi media becomes a credible source of information for the public."
Abderrazzak said he had not been approached by the coalition and had learned of the denial only from the AFP reporter who interviewed him.
"Let the coalition prove that our report is false and I will fire the two journalists (who wrote it). So far, they haven't," he said.

Newspaper trades charges with coalition over: Alleged rape of two Iraqi girls
An Iraqi newspaper run by Sunni Muslims traded charges Monday
........
Bottom line? Iraqi women are trading sex for much needed money to feed and clothe their children. The old world Mullahs are ready to have them beheaded but for the fact that the rag-headed Mullahs are running for their own lives. The old order Bastards are in a fix....the women they used to enslave are now retaliating and the Mullahs have nowhere to hide. How about we let the Jews have at the Mullahs? String the ragheads up from a fence post and whip the shit out of them? Pull the underwear off their heads and let the ants eat them. These Muslim freaks are not human beings. They are killers. Allah is NOT good. Muhammed is not good. Muhammed was a child molestor...Allah is a pig.

** just because Muhammad copulated an 8-year old girl? (Ayisheh bint Abu Bekr). Maybe the age of consent in Arabia is 8 ?

> Arabia cannot comprehend the concept of consent.
€ This kind of makes sense since women are not allowed to testify at rape "trials" and conviction is only possible if 3 Muslim males witness the insertion of the penis into the vagina.
