Iraqi Man Says He Was Tortured, Files Suit In L.A.
- Original CBS 2 - KCAL 9 article: Iraqi Man Says He Was Tortured, Files Suit In L.A.
An Iraqi man who says he was tortured while detained at the Abu Ghraib prison is suing two U.S. military contractors.
Emad al-Janabi claims in a lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles federal court that he was abused for 10 months beginning in September 2003 by employees of CACI International Inc. and L-3 Communications, formerly Titan Corp.
Al-Janabi says he was punched, slammed into walls, hung from a bed frame and kept naked and handcuffed in his cell. He claims contractors conspired to cover up the torture by destroying documents and other information.
Pictures of prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib ignited international criticism.
