Abu Ghraib prisoners released
US forces started releasing some 1,000 prisoners on Monday from the Abu Ghraib prison, the same prison which gained prominence last year after US prison guards there were charged with torturing Iraqi inmates under there watch.
US spokesmen told reporters that the move was a result of requests of the Iraqi government in light of the upcoming Ramadan holiday on October 5 according to AFP.
A US military statement announced, "In the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan, the Iraqi government requested a special release board and worked with multinational forces to expedite the release of more than 1,000 security detainees from Abu Ghraib”.
