Newly-published Iraq war secrets by Wikileaks have revealed a large number of brutalities against Iraqi civilians, many recounting tales of abuse by occupation forces.
According to Press TV, the field reports contain numerous official accounts of detainee abuse by the multi-national troops in war-torn Iraq.
One such document dating back to September 2005 depicts the forces brutally kicking and stoning a farmer over allegations that he was planting an improvised explosive device.
The secret documents published by the whistleblower website over the weekend are a part of the nearly 400,000 classified reports about the US-led invasion of Iraq dating from January 2004 to the end of 2009.
The classified documents have shed light on a spate of crimes and offences committed in Iraq over the past few years, including rape, assassinations and murders.
The site has also exposed documents on the similar US-led war in Afghanistan and is expected to disclose additional related details.
