Riot at Camp Bucca in Iraq over Soldiers burning Quran, Live rounds used on prisoners

2005
US troops fire on Iraqi detainees after burning their Holy Quran books in front of them. Amateur footage recently posted on the internet shows American troops firing live ammunition on Iraqi prisoners during a riot in a US detention facility in Iraq back in 2005.


The footage shows US forces using disproportionate force and live rounds against prisoners at the US prison facility Camp Bucca located in Iraq.

The Iraqi detainees were protesting the American troops' desecration of Islam's holy book, the Qur'an.
At the time, the US military tried to cover up the bloodshed, saying the riot happened when the prisoners confronted a search for contraband in the prison.

But the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) later revealed that the real cause of the riot was the desecration of the Holy Qur'an by US troops.

Four prisoners were shot dead and five others wounded during the violence.

In 2008, the US military revealed that it held a total of around 20,000 detainees, some 17,000 of whom at Camp Bucca near Basra in southern Iraq, and more than 3,000 others at Camp Cropper in the capital Baghdad.

@scgamerd defenseless, clearly u never heard of a chi rock.

[mpsoldier04]

these soldiers were attacked and the response was violence with swift justice.

[mpsoldier04]

haha this shit was awesome, no one there burned any Quran's, there was no lethal ammunition used during any of these instances. only less than lethal (look it up you retards). the detainee's had weapons (Molatove cocktails metal shanks, large rocks, with slingshots. these detainee's got the best treatment, flat screen tv's movie night's ciggarett's and lighters provided weekly they werent charged any thing more than accomadating living conditions. so all you naysayers can go to hell.

Cowards, using their weapons on defenseless unarmed citizens. Look at them, despite having weapons and hiding behind fence and barbed wire they are still barely standing on their feet, about to shit themselves with fear. Whoever took part in this, I hope they get captured by the insurgents, and get tortured.

bunch of suicide dipshits in a war with usa what do yall expect from war get the fuk over it unless the wars over...

[BrainWashingSociety]

I love hearing about these people die to be honest. Becuase they have no regard for human life. There like mindless machines.

From someone who was there - wheres the video of the "Live" rounds?? Unless you are referring to the less then lethal rounds as live..Everyone who has been there knows they are only using FN 303s, shot guns(with rubber bullets) and stun grenades on the ground (which you can clearly see in the video) and the only live weapons are in the towers and it was from stepping on the Quran not burning anything... wow nice try though - dislike!

[RATFather]

The report is false. Totally fabricated by the uploader. No live rounds are used in the TIF. These are rubber rounds used to control rioters.

People that believe this are ignorant sheep of an agenda bent at destroying us from within. Nice job idiot lemmings.

They should have burned the bible it's much shittier than the quaran
