Pictures of tortured Iraqis on desecrated British cemetary

Pictures of Iraqi prisoners being abused by US troops and vengeful inscriptions were found on desecrated graves of British soldiers of World War I in Gaza City, the cemetery curator said.

"Eight to ten men smashed 32 tombstones Sunday night," said Issam Jaradah, who is in charge of the northern Gaza City cemetery's maintenance.

....

He said that he and his father prevented the vandals, some of whom were armed, from desecrating more of the tombs in the Gaza War Cemetery.

The Jaradah family, eight members of which receive salaries from the British embassy in Israel, has been in charge of the cemetery for more than 60 years. It has never before been desecrated.
