Australia probes 'offensive' videos by soldiers in Iraq

Australia's military chief pledged an investigation into videos showing "inappropriate images" of Australian soldiers in Iraq.

Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston pledged that strong action would be taken against soldiers found responsible for the images posted on internet sites.

Details of the 14 video clips were revealed in an article on the Time magazine website which said they appeared to feature "serious wrongdoing by soldiers during their 2004 and 2005 operations in Baghdad".
