London, Feb 12, SPA -- Britain said it was investigating new allegations of abuse by its soldiers in Iraq on Sunday after a newspaper released what it described as videos showing soldiers savagely beating Iraqi teenagers. "We are aware of these very serious allegations and can confirm they are now the subject of an urgent Royal Military Police investigation," the Defense Ministry said in a statement. "We condemn all acts of abuse and brutality and always treat any allegations of wrongdoing extremely seriously." The video, released by the News of the World, was apparently filmed by one soldier and showed his comrades beating prone Iraqis with batons and kicking them while they lie on the ground, Reuters reported. --SPA 12 15 Local Time 09 15 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/329753
