An Australian television station broadcast yesterday what it said were previously unpublished images of abuse of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison.
The Special Broadcasting Service's Dateline current affairs programme said the images had been recorded at the same time as those of US soldiers abusing detainees in the Iraqi prison that caused outrage in 2004. Some suggest further abuse such as killing, torture and sexual humiliation, it said.
The photographs and video images, which were rebroadcast by Arab television stations, show prisoners, some bleeding or hooded, bound to beds and doors, sometimes with a smiling guard beside them. They include a pile of five naked detainees photographed from the rear, and a dog straining at a leash close to the face of a crouching man wearing a bright orange jumpsuit.
