Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Wednesday he would demand an independent Iraqi inquiry into the suspected rape and murder of a teenager and the killing of her family by U.S. soldiers.

"Yes, we will demand an independent Iraqi inquiry, or a joint investigation with multi-national forces," he told reporters on a visit to Kuwait.
