BAGHDAD, May 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Monday it had found five Iraqis, including a boy, who had been kidnapped and tortured by militants the captives described as foreign fighters.
The four unidentified men and the boy were found during raids against an al Qaeda network in Garma, about 30 km (20 miles) west of Baghdad in Anbar province, a Sunni Arab insurgency stronghold.
They were found inside a padlocked room and had been beaten with chains, cables and hoses, the U.S military said in a statement.
"The boy stated the terrorists had hooked electrical wires to his tongue and shocked him," it said. It did not give the boy's age.
"The hostages indicated their captors were foreign fighters who spoke with different accents."
