No charges against British reservist suspected of faking pictures of Iraqi
detainee abuse
LONDON - (AP) A British reservist investigated in connection with
faked photos purporting to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees
will not face charges, prosecutors said Friday.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it had considered charging Pvt.
Stuart Mackenzie with obtaining property by deception, but ultimately
decided there was not enough evidence to convict him.
The Daily Mirror printed photos in May 2004 purporting to show the
abuse, which included a British soldier allegedly urinating on a hooded
Iraqi prisoner.
The newspaper later acknowledged the images were fakes. It printed a
front-page apology and top editor Piers Morgan stepped down.
