Abu Ghraib prisoners ‘abused on arrival’

MOST of the detainees abused at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad have told US investigators that they were stripped and humiliated on arrival.

They said they were beaten and threatened with death and sexual assault if they did not co-operate with US interrogators.

Kasim Mehaddi Hilas said he was hooded and forced to wear rose-coloured women’s underwear.
