Reported in the Guardian:
At least 26 prisoners have died in American custody in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002 in what US military investigators have concluded or suspect were acts of criminal homicide, the New York Times reported today. Citing military officials, the paper said the killings took place both inside detention centres and in other locations, including at the point of capture in often violent battlefield conditions. Only one of the deaths took place at Abu Ghraib, the Iraqi prison at the centre of an abuse scandal involving US troops.
