Shocking images of US soldiers tying up children
A series of shocking pictures revealing US soldiers tying up Iraqi women and children in their own home has provoked international outrage.
"This kind of image increases resentment of American troops in Iraq and can also play a major part in demoralising troops who are having to tie up small children. We are seeking to raise this issue further in the appropriate arena," said Washington CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper."
A spokesman for the London-based Islamic Observation Centre said the pictures showed a "complete disregard for the human rights of the Iraqi people". He added: "A normal human being should be repulsed by the very idea of tying up children. You have to question the mental state of soldiers who are being forced to do this."
