Wounded Iraqi is given £2m payout

[Sweetpea]

An Iraqi teenager accidentally shot by a British soldier is to receive £2m, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed. The man - who cannot be named for legal reasons - will receive the payout after suffering severe spinal injuries which have left him paralysed.

The compensation is higher than anything paid to any British troops injured in Iraq.
