Ugly War Crime: Rape Jihad

Interrogator: "There were operations of kidnapping and rape, carried out by the squad you belong to?" Abed: "Yes." [...] Interrogator: "Is this Jihad – raping women? Is this Jihad?" Abed: "It is because they collaborated with the Americans." Interrogator: "That's why they were raped?" Abed: "Yes." Interrogator: "A student who is simply going to her university is kidnapped, raped, and then slaughtered?! This was an American collaborator?!" Abed: "Mullah Al-Raikan would give the names to the squad commander." […] Interrogator: "Were they raped after the interrogation?" Abed: "Yes. He would give them to the squad, and they would kill them. Some would rape them."

From an interview with an Iraqi freedom fighter; aired on Iraqi TV earlier this month. It is never a good idea to quote without a context but since I haven't seen such reports elsewhere (regular media outlets) I decided it ought to be included. From Jihad Watch.
