Meanwhile, the British government has admitted its forces tortured nine Iraqi prisoners in 2003. The admission could lead to compensation payments to the eight surviving prisoners and the family of the ninth, who died from beatings by British jailers. The slain victim, Iraqi hotel worker Baha Musa, suffered ninety-three injuries to his body. Musa was twenty-six years old and the father of two children. His wife had died just two months earlier of a brain tumor.
