Defence investigating Iraq videos

THE Australian Defence Force is investigating videos taken in Iraq that reportedly show Australian soldiers allegedly mishandling weapons and fraternising with Iraqis.

Details of the 14 video clips were revealed in an article on the Time magazine website.

One, Time said, shows a soldier pointing a handgun at the head of a kneeling man, possibly another Australian soldier dressed in Arab robes. Another shows charred corpses, the victims of terror bombings.

The actual video clips - credited to a person with the internet nickname pornstar - were posted on the YouTube internet website but have now been removed. A defence force spokeswoman said it viewed any material of this nature seriously.
