Ex-detainees sue military contractors
1/7/08
Four Iraqi men are suing US military contractors who they say tortured them while they were detained in Abu Ghraib prison, according to lawsuits being filed at US federal courts today. The lawsuits allege the contractors committed violations of US law, including torture, war crimes and civil conspiracy. The scandal over the treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib unleashed a wave of global condemnation against the US when images of abused prisoners surfaced in 2004.
