US charges ex-Abu Ghraib officer

The US military has charged the former head of the interrogation centre
at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison over the abuse of Iraqi detainees.

Lt-Col Steven Jordan has been charged with seven offences including
cruelty to and maltreatment of prisoners.

He is the highest ranking officer to face criminal charges over events
at the prison.

Ten lower-ranking soldiers have already been convicted for abusing
prisoners at Abu Ghraib from 2003 to 2004.
