US military forces and the CIA may have committed war crimes in Afghanistan through the "cruel and violent" interrogation of detainees mostly between 2003-2004, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Monday.
There was a "reasonable basis to believe that, in the course of interrogating these detainees ... members of the US armed forces and the US Central Intelligence Agency resorted to techniques amounting to the commission of the war crimes of torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity, and rape," chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said, unveiling the results of a preliminary probe.
