Now theyâre saying no evidence our soldiersâ were mutilated
U.S. military officials now say thereâs no sign the bodies of the two Americans killed yesterday in northern Iraq were mutilated. Military sources say thereâs no sign the men were beaten with rocks or their throats slashed. Witnesses had reported the soldiers were dragged from their car after gunmen shot them. Iraqis say a mob pummeled the bloodied soldiers with concrete blocks and a few accounts said the soldiers throats were slashed. But the military official says thereâs no evidence to back the claims. The official says Iraqis robbed the car and stole personal effects from the soldiersâ bodies. The Pentagon has identified the men as Command Sgt. Maj. Jerry Wilson, of Thomson, Ga., and Specialist Rel Ravago IV, of Glendale, Calif.
