US Soldiers Arrest Iraqi Teenager Who Made Fun of Them



A US soldier leads arrested 17-year-old student Khaled Salim with his hands tied behend his back towards a waiting army truck in the southern Baghdad suburb of Dura. Salim was arrested on his way to school, as a warning to others after he insulted US troops. US soldiers carried out house-to-house searches in Dura, deatining two people and confiscating waspons.

The above photo and caption from Agence France-Presse were captured from the Yahoo News site, which runs the raw AFP wire. They were picked up apparently by only two media outlets in the world: the Straits Times (Singapore), which ran the caption but not the picture, and the Globe and Mail (Toronto), which rotated it completely off its Website after several hours.

As with the so-called thieves who were publicly stripped and written on by US soldiers in Iraq, the US media have chosen to ignore this incident.
