Four U.S. Soldiers Charged in Iraqi POW Abuse Case
Sat July 26, 2003 03:03 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers have been charged in an
investigation into suspected abuse of Iraqi prisoners of war, a U.S.
military official said on Saturday.

"There is an investigation into alleged mistreatment of some prisoners
by some soldiers," said Lt. Cmdr. Nick Balice of U.S. Central Command in
Tampa, Florida.

"Four soldiers have been charged based on allegations of mistreatment,"
said Balice, who declined to identify the soldiers or to detail the
allegations.

A military trial was expected for the four, Balice said.

The abuse investigation centered on events that occurred in mid-May at
Camp Bucca, where 7,000 prisoners of war were detained during the war to
oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

The British-built camp, run by U.S. military police, is near the
southeastern Iraqi port of Umm Qasr.
