The Pentagon has termed as 'ridiculous' the notion that its officials were involved in recent rape allegations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Recently, Swedish authorities had issued an arrest warrant against Assange, but they revoked it soon after. "Any thought that the defence department may be part of such a conspiracy (rape allegations against Assange) is absurd," Pentagon spokesperson Bryan Whitman said, adding, "No. That's ridiculous."
The Pentagon on Tuesday said that the United States Army has been training the Pakistan military for quite some time now and there is nothing "secret" about it.
Kevin Sites of NBC News television said three other wounded prisoners in a Fallujah mosque were also shot dead by the marines.
