New US report reveals abuse at Mosul jail

A US Army investigation found systematic abuse and possible torture of Iraqi prisoners at a base near the northern city of Mosul, just as top military officials became aware of abuse allegations at Abu Ghraib, documents show.

Records previously released by the Army have detailed abuses at Abu Ghraib, outside Baghdad, and other sites in Iraq as well as at sites in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The new documents, released last night, were the first to reveal abuses at the jail in Mosul and are among the few to allege torture directly.
