Three British Iraq war veterans are to be investigated for the third time over the death of a looter in Basra nearly 13 years ago, in a move denounced as “vindictive”
An incident on May 8, 2003 would change the[]lives [of three British soldiers] and still haunt them 13 years on. A young Iraqi looter, Ahmed Jabbar Kareem Ali, had been arrested by the pair and another older soldier, [] a colour sergeant. In the process – events at this stage are heavily disputed – the 17-year-old Iraqi drowned.
Again they were cleared but only after a five-year investigation. Ihat found “there was no prospect of gaining any new or compelling evidence to go any way to altering a previous decision made by the courts martial”.
