CID Report: 0278-03-CID519-62225
Sept. 22, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 150
CID report of investigation into a non-fatal shooting inside Camp Bucca, Iraq during a prison riot on September 22, 2003. The investigation determined that the use of live ammunition and the subsequent non-deadly shooting of one of the detainees was a “Justifiable Shooting” and occurred only after the guards properly employed non-lethal means of controlling the riotous prisoners. According to the report, the detainees were concealing their faces with towels and rags, and began “throwing rocks, wooden tent stakes, tin cans and water bottles filled with sand at the Compound guards while sporadically charging the fence”. The guards, fearing the fence would be penetrated, employed live rounds against the rioting detainees after receiving authorization from the Commander of the Relief to do so. One detainee was shot.
