| Description | The Pentagon on Friday said US guards at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility abused the Koran by kicking the Muslim holy book around and splashing it with urine.
The US Southern Command, which oversees the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, said guards also mishandled the Koran by stepping on the book and soaking it in water.
Allegations that US soldiers at Guantanamo abused the Koran have been at the centre of a high-profile campaign by the White House to criticise Newsweek over a report that said a pending military investigation would conclude that a Koran had been flushed down a lavatory. |
