［アブグレイブ（イラク） １４日 ロイター］ イラク駐留米軍は１４日、バグダッド郊外のアブグレイブ刑務所からイラク人拘束者数十人を釈放した。同刑務所はイラク人虐待の中心となった場所。
拘束者で満席となったバス数台が刑務所を後にし、米軍車両が護衛する中、一団となって高速道路を走りバグダッドに向かった。
これより先、複数の米軍幹部は拘束者約３００人を１４日に釈放するとしていた。
拘束者釈放は１カ月前からの計画の一環。同刑務所に新たに就任した所長は今週、来月末までに拘束者を１５００―２０００人にする意向を明らかにしていた。
今週初めの時点での拘束者数は約３８００人。

ABU GHRAIB, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. forces freed 293 Iraqis from the prison at the heart of the abuse scandal on Friday, a day after Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited the Abu Ghraib jail outside Baghdad.
Several buses filled with detainees pulled out of the compound, past families of some of the thousands of others detainees, before setting off in convoy on the highway to the capital escorted by U.S. military vehicles.
Some of the released said U.S. soldiers had tortured them during their detention at Abu Ghraib.
"The soldiers subjected us to different forms of torture. They beat me, hung us from the roof by our legs and hands and left us like that for days without any reason," released detainee Yahya Salman said upon arrival at his hometown of Baquba, north of Baghdad.
The releases were part of a months-old program that the new commander of the jail said this week would cut the number of inmates to between 1,500 and 2,000 by the end of next month.
About 3,800 detainees were in Abu Ghraib earlier this week.
Images of U.S. soldiers torturing captives at the jail -- notorious for abuses under ousted Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein -- inflamed international opinion and threatened both Rumsfeld's career and U.S. plans to install a stable, friendly government in Iraq.
During a seven-hour visit to Baghdad on Thursday, Rumsfeld toured the jail and said the abuses committed by his troops, which have shredded U.S. credibility with Iraqis, were the acts of a deviant minority and did not reflect U.S. intentions.
"Like most Americans I was stunned. It was a body blow," Rumsfeld told soldiers at the jail, as he defended a military campaign whose cost in terms of casualties and dim prospects for clear victory have elicited comparisons to Vietnam.
