British contractors murder civilians in Iraq.

Recommended Posts

A "trophy" video appearing to show security guards in Baghdad randomly shooting Iraqi civilians has sparked two investigations after it was posted on the internet.

The video has sparked concern that private security companies, which are not subject to any form of regulation either in Britain or in Iraq, could be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent Iraqis.

The video, which first appeared on a website that has been linked unofficially to Aegis Defence Services, contained four separate clips, in which security guards open fire with automatic rifles at civilian cars. All of the shooting incidents apparently took place on "route Irish", a road that links the airport to Baghdad.

The army recruitment ads in australia often state as their slogan "we bring out the best in you". I've always wondered how war can bring out the best in soldiers.... not to mention mercenaries.

This video doesn't appear to stay up on any site for too long. I've been getting dead links all night.

Here is one that finally worked. if they take it down again I'll put it up on my server.

The beginning isn't too clear about what they are doing, but towards the end it becomes quite obvious.

Apparently there have been complaints to the Iraqi officials about this sort of stuff for months, but they are powerless to do anything about it.
