BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A major Sunni Muslim party on Tuesday condemned the fatal shooting of four Iraqi security detainees by American guards during a riot last week at a U.S. military prison and demanded that those responsible be brought to trial.

In a statement, the Iraqi Islamic Party, one of the country's largest Sunni political factions, condemned the killings at the U.S. military's Camp Bucca in the southern Iraqi city of Umm Qasr.

The U.S. command said the use of lethal force by guards would be investigated.

On Monday, a group of Sunni clerics said it received letters from detainees at the camp detailing allegations of abuse that included prisoners having their legs broken by American guards.

A U.S. spokesman for the military's detention facilities in Iraq said those claims were "completely unfounded and without merit."
