Nuri el qundara, this article is for your eyes. You are the most racist, sepratist, secterian individual Iraq has even known. Damn you and your likes who has destroyed this beautiful country. You don't answer to Iraqis but you will answer to God. Your hands and the hands of those who brought you into this government are stained with the blood of Iraqis and Americans. Don't blame sunis, take responsibility for your damn gang.
Second case of rape allegations in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Four Iraqi soldiers have been accused of raping a 50-year-old Sunni woman and the attempted rape of her two daughters in the second allegation of sexual assault leveled against Iraqi forces this week, an official said Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Nijm Abdullah said the attack allegedly occurred about 10 days ago in the northern city of Tal Afar during a search for weapons and insurgents.
A lieutenant and three enlisted men denied the charge but later confessed after they were confronted by the woman, a Turkoman. Abdullah said a fifth soldier suspected something was wrong, burst into the house and forced the others at gunpoint to stop the assault.
"They have been referred to the judicial authorities so they can receive their just punishment," said Abdullah, who effectively serves as mayor of the city.
Regardless of the truth, a second allegation within a single week is likely to undermine further the reputation of Iraq's security services, which the U.S. hopes can take over from coalition troops so the Americans and their allies can go home.
The report follows an allegation Monday by a 20-year-old Sunni woman that she was raped by three Iraqi policemen after she was detained during a search of her house in western Baghdad.
She was taken to a police garrison where the attack allegedly occurred Sunday but she was rescued by U.S. soldiers, she said.
The government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cleared the policemen after an investigation lasting less than a day and accused Sunni activists of fabricating the allegation to undermine support for the security forces during the ongoing Baghdad crackdown.
But her complaint and the speed with which the officers were cleared unleashed a political storm, with Sunni politicians accusing the Shiite-led government of a cover-up. U.S. authorities have launched their own investigation.
Rape is considered an especially heinous crime in this conservative, tribal Muslim society and victims rarely speak about it publicly, fearing shame and even death at the hands of male relatives seeking to save the family honor.
The woman in the Tal Afar case appeared Thursday on Al-Jazeera television, saying the soldiers asked her about certain individuals and accused her of lying to them when she insisted that she did not know them.
"They threatened me that if I did not cooperate they would ... cause me a scandal," she said.
Asked why she did not report the attack immediately, she replied: "Who do I complain to? No one allows us to complain."
Abdullah would not say whether the accused soldiers were Shiites or Sunnis, saying only that they came from the Shiite south. Some Shiite lawmakers said at least two of the three accused in the Baghdad case were Sunni Arabs.
