    DER SPIEGEL photographer Ali Arkady documents Iraqi security forces abducting, torturing, raping, and killing civilians around Mosul.

    Describes "competition" among Federal Police & ERU: Police described raping particularly beautiful woman, ERU also wanted to raid the place.

    Story carried in Spiegel Online....in German....

    Basically the Shia units were fear in driving the Sunni's out de facto ethnic cleansing

    BTW...the US had problems with the Federal Police even in 2006 in Diyala ...as they were mainly Shia....in a largely Sunni Province

    AND from the photos the Shia torture techniques have not changed much from 2006...

    Our friends that we knew so well from 2006 Badr Corp......

    Arkady says he received death threats, brought his family to safety before releasing evidence of the crimes he documented. Now lives abroad.

    His account was published in this week's SPIEGEL Magazine. No English version available yet AFAIK.

    @DerSPIEGEL #Mosul: A detained Sunni soldier said he was abducted and raped by the #PMU in #Mosul "because I'm a Sunni. They hate us."

    @DerSPIEGEL #Mosul: #Iraq|i Shia Captain Omar: "Oh, we did everything. We took Sunni men & women and looted their houses."

    @DerSPIEGEL #Mosul: Reporter: "They (#PMU) tortured a Sunni father. Then they tortured his 16-year-old son and executed the son in front of his father."
