A video apparently showing Pakistani soldiers beating men detained in anti-militant operations has surfaced on the internet, drawing criticism from a leading rights group and possibly undercutting support for the army’s fight against al-Qaida and the Taliban. The 10-minute video shows an army officer casually questioning four men in a building. The officer then steps aside and soldiers move in, punching, kicking and whipping the suspects, who scream in pain and writhe on the ground. The video has been posted on the Facebook and YouTube sites. The army said it was probing the alleged abuse.
