Iraq: Jail abuse ‘leader’ guilty

The ringleader in the abuse of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail has been found guilty of mistreating detainees.

Charles Graner, 36, was convicted by a military jury in Texas after a four-day trial at which he was said to have assaulted prisoners for fun.

The 36-year-old had pleaded not guilty to five charges, with the defence arguing that he was following orders.

He now faces up to 15 years in a military prison.

The 10-person jury took less than five hours to reach their verdict.
