Washington, January 16 (RHC)-- The U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service has reopened its investigation into accusations members of a Navy SEAL team brutally beat several Afghan detainees at a remote outpost in southern Afghanistan in 2012.
The investigation follows a story by The New York Times that found three Navy SEALs dropped heavy stones on the detainees’ chests, stomped on their heads, and poured bottles of water on their faces in a modified form of waterboarding. One of the detainees was beaten so badly he eventually died from his injuries.
