What really wikileaks leaked about Iraq? 11 Key revealations

All this fuss about wikileaks.com giving out massive amount of information on Iraq war. What are the key points revealed -

• US apache helicopters killed insurgents who were trying to surrender, according to the logs. An American military legal adviser told helicopter crew that Iraqi men were valid targets as they could not surrender to aircraft, the documents show. The Apache helicopter killed the two insurgents after being told that they were still legitimate targets even although they were offering to lay down their arms.

• More than 15,000 previously unrecorded deaths were contained in the files, according to one analysis of the figures. US military logs revealed 109,032 deaths between January 2004 and December last year. Iraq Body Count, the London-based organisation which monitors civilian deaths, concluded that 15,000 unrecorded civilian deaths will be added to the public record.

• Pentagon logs detail two cases of alleged abuse by British troops against Iraqi detainees. Two reports dated June 23 2008 describe claims from two Iraqi men – both of them Shias – who alleged they were punched and kicked by unidentified British soldiers. Both men, according to the reports posted on the Wikileaks website, suffered injuries that would have been consistent with their claims. There is no apparent record of an investigation taking place into the allegations.

• British soldiers repeatedly came under attack from US forces in a series of 'friendly fire' incidents. The files disclose that they were attacked in error on at least 11 occasions. In one incident, a commando with the Royal Marines was shot and wounded while, on another occasion at night, US troops, who had no night vision goggles and were listening to their iPods, began firing on a British patrol.

• British security agents were forced to change secret data including codes and signal frequencies after a helicopter dropped boxes containing sensitive information over Baghdad. The boxes, which included a number of different codes, were allowed to fall from a Puma helicopter flying over Baghdad in April 2006.

• Iran supplied chemical weapons to Iraqi militias for attacks against civilians and US targets. Iranian rockets with "neuroparalytic" agents were identified as a threat to American and British forces during the war in Iraq, according to reports included in the files.

• Iranian-backed forces supplied insurgents attacking coalition troops and devised new forms of suicide vests for al-Qaeda, according to Wikileaks assessments. They claim Iranian intelligence officers served inside Iraq, at one point manning checkpoints with local militias, and describe a firefight on the border in which American troops shot an Iranian border guard dead and then came under prolonged attack as they returned to base.

• US soldiers killed innocent Iraqi civilians at road checkpoints. In one incident, in September 2005, when a car failed to stop they fired warning shots before opening fire with automatic light machine guns, killing a man and a woman and wounding their children.

• Iraqi forces systematically beat and tortured prisoners, including women and children. The reports described prisoners being shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles.

• British and American security contractors contributed to the chaos of war. A British firm, Aegis, suffered the highest losses of any company, according to analysis by the New York Times.

• American troops handed over captives to the infamous 'Wolf Brigade' torture squad, a feared unit controlled by the Iraq ministry of interior.
