A Face and a Name. Civilian Victims of Insurgent Groups in Iraq

Human Right Watch has issued a report today that accuses the Iraqi insurgents of war crimes.

It presents the arguments that insurgent forces have used to justify their attacks and challenges their rationale, arguing that these are in clear violation of international humanitarian law.
