winterbadgerIraq 'death squad caught in act'

Iraq has launched an investigation into claims by the US military that an Iraqi police "death squad" has been targeting Sunni Arab Iraqis.
The probe comes in response to US general saying his soldiers had stopped 22 policemen about to kill a Sunni man.
"We have found one of the death squads. They are part of the police force," US Maj Gen Joseph Peterson said.
Sunnis have long accused Iraqi forces of operating death squads - but the claims have never been substantiated.
