complains of hakim

The eldest son of an influential Shia politician says US troops treated him roughly when they briefly arrested him near the Iran-Iraq border on Friday. Ammar al-Hakim says he was targeted for arrest, rudely bound and blindfolded. The US military says he was arrested because his convoy was suspicious, but was treated with "dignity and respect". The US has repeatedly said that Iraq's Shia militias are being armed with weapons smuggled in from Iran. US ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad swiftly apologised for the incident. what do you think?discuss
