Reported abuse of Iraqi prisoners to be probed

[ET Awful]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The commander of U.S. forces in Iraq has ordered an investigation into reports of abuse of prisoners at coalition detention centers here, the U.S. military said Friday.

A military statement gave no indication about the scope of the reported abuse, saying simply that Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez ordered a probe “into reported incidents of detainee abuse at a coalition forces detention facility.”

“The release of specific information concerning the incidents could hinder the investigation, which is in its early stages,” the statement said. “The investigation will be conducted in a thorough and professional manner.”

It added that the coalition “is committed to treating all persons under its control with dignity, respect and humanity.”

and with somewhat less confidence by the survivors of the victims of the camps.
