Photos Revealed Of US Abusing Iraqi Prisoners

HeadlineApr 29, 2004

And 60 Minutes II aired photos last night of US soldiers abusing Iraqis prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. The prison was notorious during Saddam Hussein’s era as a torture center. One showed an Iraqi prisoner with electric wires attached to his genitals; another showed a dog attacking a prisoner and a third showed prisoners being forced to simulate having sex with each other. Last month the Army announced it had suspended 17 soldiers over allegations of abuse of prisoners. The military announced today a U.S. general has also now been suspended. One U.S. soldier interviewed by 60 Minutes said he had received little training on treating prisoners and said that he had never seen a copy of the Geneva Convention which governs the treatment of soldiers.
