UN: 34 killed in Iraqi raid on Iranian exile camp

None

Thirty-four Iranian exiles were killed when Iraqi soldiers stormed Camp Ashraf last week, a UN spokesman said Thursday in the first independent death toll of the raid that has drawn sharp rebukes from Baghdad's Western allies.

 

UN human rights spokesman Rupert Colville in Geneva said a team of UN observers saw 28 bodies still at the camp during a Wednesday visit to the exiles' compound in eastern Diyala province. Most of the bodies appeared to have been shot, he said. (AP)
