Army dog-handler jailed for Abu Ghraib abuse
A US Army dog-handler was sentenced to six months behind bars for using his snarling animal to torment prisoners at Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib jail.
Sergeant Michael Smith, 24, was reduced to the rank of private, will forfeit $750 (€622) a month of his pay for three months and will receive a bad-conduct discharge from the army after his release from prison, the court in Fort Meade, Maryland ruled.
