LONDON - Britain's military authorities are considering whether to prosecute eight British soldiers for allegedly abusing prisoners in Iraq, the Ministry of Defense said Friday.
The case came to light a year ago, when The Sun newspaper reported that a soldier had a roll of film showing an Iraqi detainee bundled up in netting and suspended from a fork lift. The Sun claimed the film also showed troops performing sex acts near captured Iraqis.
On Wednesday, a similar scandal hit the U.S. military after the CBS program "60 Minutes II" broadcast images of Iraqis stripped naked, hooded and being tormented by their American captors.
The Ministry of Defense confirmed on May 30 that the case was under investigation.
On Friday, the ministry said the Royal Military Police's Special Investigations Branch has completed its investigation, and the army's prosecuting authority was deliberating whether to press charges.
