Corporal Daniel Kenyon, aged 33, one of three soldiers accused of abusing captured looters, told the court his men had been poisoned by the atmosphere at Camp Bread Basket, in Basra.

The father of two from Newcastle upon Tyne said: "My section was squeaky clean and the Bread Basket was one of dirty infection."
