The following are excerpts from the interrogation of Shuqair Farishi and Hussein Sheikhu, two Iraqi policemen who joined a terrorist squad and murdered and raped many Iraqis.
Al-Iraqiya TV aired this interrogation on February 24, 2005.
Pictures are from this broadcast. We did never see the interviewer and the two policemen stayed in front of the television cameras that do not move. The interviewer is sometimes aggressive and injurious.
The proclivity to accuse Syria is very surprising.
