U.K. Troops Shot Iraqi Civilians

LONDON, England (CNN) -- As furor grows over the mistreatment of Iraqi detainees, a report from a human rights group has charged that British troops occupying southern Iraq killed a dozen civilians who posed no threat to them.

Many of those killings have not been investigated by the British military, and the families of the victims have not been compensated, according to a report released on Tuesday in London by Amnesty International.

It says dozens of former Ba'ath party members, shopkeepers who sell alcohol and those who sell videos and music have been killed, often in broad daylight, and no prosecutions have been brought.
