The U.S. military announced Saturday that it had charged six of its military police officers with abusing Iraqi detainees held in Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad, an institution notorious for its brutal treatment of prisoners during former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's rule.
U.S. military spokesman Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said the 800th Military Police Brigade officers were charged with six crimes, including cruelty and maltreatment of prisoners, assault, and indecent acts with another, as well as conspiracy and dereliction of duty.
