ATROCITIES allegedly committed by Australian soldiers during the Vietnam War, including the shooting of innocent civilians, have been referred to the Australian Federal Police.
The allegations, including claims Diggers dragged the headless corpses of Vietcong behind armoured personnel carriers, have been the source of official cover-upclaims for more than 40 years.
However, the AFP was finally asked to investigate after fresh evidence was unearthed in the National Archives by an author researching a book on the alleged incident in May 1969.
Author Frank Walker welcomed the investigation into the allegations raised in his book Ghost Platoon.
I wonder will they shoot the messenger?
