Meanwhile, four Iraqi soldiers have been accused in the second sexual assault allegation against Iraqi forces this week. An Iraqi official says the soldiers raped a 50-year-old Sunni woman and then tried to rape her two daughters last week. This follows Monday’s report that two members of the Shiite-led police force raped a Sunni woman during the massive security crackdown on Baghdad. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki initially backed an investigation but later dismissed the charges and accused the woman of spreading propaganda.
