A female Army medic faces investigation following allegations that she sexually assaulted a prisoner while he was detained at a British military base in Iraq.
The nurse is the first British female soldier to face abuse claims by Iraqi detainees. The claims are among 33 new allegations of torture, male rape and physical mistreatment being
probed by the Ministry of Defence.
Father-of-three Hussain Hashim Khinyab, 35, says that after he was arrested by British forces in April 2006, the medic had tried to have sex with him at the Shaaibah logistical camp while he was lying on a hospital bed recovering from an operation.
