UPDATE:
U.S. Military Denies New Abuse Allegations at Ishaqi
Officials Concluded Troops Followed Rules of Engagement

By JONATHAN KARL
June 2, 2006 — - Horrific images of Iraqi adults and children have fueled new allegations that U.S. troops killed civilians in the Iraqi town of Ishaqi.

ABC News has learned, however, that military officials have completed their investigation and have concluded U.S. forces followed the rules of engagement.

A senior Pentagon official told ABC News that the investigation concluded that American forces in this case properly followed the rules of engagement and that allegations of intentional killings of civilians were unfounded.

Military commanders in Iraq launched an investigation soon after the March 15 raid in the village of Ishaqi, about 50 miles north of Baghdad.
