New Abu Ghraib Abuse Photos Shown on TV
Politics | May 27, 2004, ThursdayNew photographs said to depict abuse of naked Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison were shown on the NBC network on Wednesday.
The TV network claims the pictures depict aggressive interrogation of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, the prison that has become an ugly symbol of the US occupation.
The pictures show three naked Iraqi prisoners clumped together on the floor during an interrogation and the use of aggressive tactics against them, NBC "Nightly News" reported.
One photo shows a man sitting in a chair with his back to the camera near the prisoners on the floor. NBC said the man was identified as a civilian interpreter.
Another picture shows a soldier, identified as a military intelligence officer, standing over the prisoners after apparently throwing an object at them, NBC said. In the photo, the object appears to be suspended just off the floor.
A third photo shows a soldier with his knee pressing down on the neck of one prisoner, while apparently questioning another, according to the network's description.
Seven U.S. soldiers have been charged over the abuse at Abu Ghraib.
