Jul. 2nd, 2005 09:45 amIraq's ambassador to the UN has demanded an inquiry into what he said was the "cold-blooded murder" of his young unarmed relative by US marines.
It's currently just an allegation - there's been no investigation and all we've got is the ambassador's word for it (and the US comment that the allegations "roughly correspond to an incident involving coalition forces on that day and in that general location").
But news stories like this just keep surfacing, and I really can't see how the US/UK/coalition forces can 'win the peace' when even members of the shiny new Iraqi government accuse them of misconduct.
