BRITISH troops mistreated nine Iraqi detainees following a fierce battle a decade ago, but false allegations of murder and torture came out of "deliberate lies, reckless speculation and ingrained hostility", a judge-led inquiry has found.
THE long-running Al-Sweady inquiry, which has cost the taxpayer almost STG25 million ($A45.6 million), concluded in its final report on Wednesday that the conduct of some soldiers towards detainees breached the Geneva convention.
But it was highly critical of the claims it was initially set up to investigate - that Iraqi detainees had been murdered, mutilated and tortured following the Battle of Danny Boy on May 14 2004 near Al Amarah in southern Iraq.It found that British forces responded to a deadly ambush by insurgents with "exemplary courage, resolution and professionalism".And it suggested that some of the detainees - all described as members or supporters of the Mahdi Army insurgent group - consciously lied about the most serious allegations to discredit the British armed forces.
