The torture and slaughter of Iraqi civilians is
reaching unprecedented heights with estimates of up to 655,000 dead.
Night after night death squads rampage through Iraq’s main cities. In
Baghdad, up to a hundred bodies a day are dumped on the streets. Often
they’ve been tortured with electric drills. Yet those doing the killing
have little to do with al Qaeda or Sunni insurgents. The majority of the
killings are carried out by Shia death squads who want to turn Iraq
into a Shia state aligned to Iran.This shocking
film investigates the links between the death squads and high-ranking
Shia politicians. It reveals how the Shia militia that these politicians
control have systematically infiltrated and taken over police units and
even entire government ministeries. It investigates how these units are
closely linked to the death squads, indeed they often are the death
squads. And the killers act with impunity – there’s little investigation
into their activities.
