  • American officials said that a bomb killed three Americans traveling in Falluja including a State Department official working at the US Embassy in Baghdad. The attack also killed an American soldier and a civilian working for the Defense Department. Two civilians working for the Defense Department were wounded. The attack took place within a few miles of the bridge where four American contractors were killed in March 2004, their bodies burned and mutilated, and dragged through the streets1.

    Meanwhile, the photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse which US President Barack Obama does not want released include images of apparent rape and sexual abuse, Britain’s daily Telegraph newspaper reported. The images are among photographs included in a 2004 report into prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison conducted by US Major General Antonio Taguba. Taguba included allegations of rape and sexual abuse in his report, and he confirmed that images supporting those allegations were also in the file. These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency. The photographs relate to 400 alleged cases of abuse carried out at Abu Ghraib and six other prisons between 2001 and 20052.
