Soldier accused of torturing daughter

A US soldier has been accused of holding his 4-year-old daughter’s head underwater as part of a waterboard-style torture because she would not recite the alphabet.

Waterboarding is a controversial torture technique, where water is poured over someone so they think they are drowning.

Joshua Tabor, 27, of Yelm, Washington, allegedly beat the child before holding her head under water on Sunday night in the family’s kitchen sink, The News Tribune reported.
