February 7, 2004

AN investigation is being launched into allegations of sexual assaults committed by US troops in Iraq and Kuwait, the Pentagon said today.

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has ordered the probe.

The Defence Department did not release the number of reported cases, which occurred within the US military.

"Sexual assaults will not be tolerated in the Department of Defence," Rumsfeld wrote in a memo.
