Iraqi Suspect Says U.S. Troops Took Mother Hostage
Un-friggin-believable! The US military is in the Hostage Taking Business. This should help our standing in the Middle East.


By Waleed Ibrahim

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi apparently suspected by U.S. troops of taking part in attacks in Baghdad accused U.S. forces on Tuesday of taking his mother and sister hostage to pressure him and his brothers into surrendering for questioning.



A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad said he doubted the accusation and was not aware of such an incident. But neighbors interviewed around Arkan Mukhlif al-Batawi's villa in the capital's Sunni Arab suburb of Taji corroborated his account.
