Official: 10,000 Held in U.S.-Run Jails in Iraq

HeadlineDec 28, 2004

In other Iraq news, the country’s Human Rights Minister is reporting 10,000 detainees are now being held in U.S.-run prisons. Over 96 percent of the detainees are Iraqi nationals. Although U.S. officials have blamed Iran and Syria for backing the Iraqi resistance there are only 56 Syrians and 22 Iranians currently in the U.S.-run jails. There are more Egyptians and Saudis locked up than Syrians or Iranians.
