The US general formerly in charge of Abu Ghraib prison has told the BBC that she has evidence Israelis were involved in interrogating Iraqi detainees at another facility.

THE American general who was in charge of Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib was yesterday involved in an astonishing war of words with her superiors after she said the commander of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre told her to treat the prisoners “like dogs”.

The American general who was in charge of Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib was today involved in an astonishing war of words with her superiors, who accused her of lying.

The Army general who was in charge of the US prison guards accused of abusing Iraqis has been suspended from command of the 800th Military Police Brigade, officials said.

THE US Army general who first investigated prisoner abuse in an Iraqi prison told the US Congress yesterday, the mistreatment resulted from faulty leadership, a “lack of discipline, no training whatsoever and no supervision.”

The prisoner abuse scandal has so tarnished the US Army’s 800th Military Police Brigade that soldiers recommended for an Army Bronze Star medal have been dropped from the list, the brigade’s commander says.

SEVEN more US soldiers have been reprimanded in the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners, and the US officer who oversaw Baghdad’s notorious Abu Ghraib prison suggested that many more may be involved.

Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, the commander of the prison in which photographs were taken of the torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners, told US television network ABC today that she did not know about the prisoner abuse.
