Grand Jury Investigates CIA over Death of Abu Ghraib Prisoner

HeadlineJun 14, 2011

Time Magazine has revealed a secret U.S. federal grand jury is looking into the role of CIA agents in the death of an Iraqi prisoner at Abu Ghraib in 2003. The death of Manadel al-Jamadi became publicly known after photos were leaked showing him wrapped in cellophane and packed in ice. Some photos show U.S. military personnel posing over his dead body. Al-Jamadi’s death was officially classified as a homicide, but the only person ever charged in the case was found to be innocent.
