Detainee Dies at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq
1 hour, 25 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A 62-year-old prisoner at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison died of an apparent heart attack, the U.S. military said Friday.

Detainees sharing the compound with the man notified guards that he was having difficulty breathing, a statement said. The prisoner died Thursday at the onsite medical facility after efforts to revive him, it said.

The military is investigating his death, a routine procedure, the statement said.

American soldiers abused Iraqi prisoners at the prison after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq three years ago.

2. I guess he knew too much. So he was disposed of.

Convenient, seeing as how the new Abu Grahib photos will be coming out soon.

3. Out of all people that probably die of heart attacks in American custody

...they report about this one.

What is the American government covering up this time?
