Navy Charges 6 With Detainee Abuse At Iraq Camp

 CBS News Interactive: Battle For Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) ― The U.S. Navy says six sailors have been charged with abusing detainees at a U.S. detention center in Iraq and they will face court-martials.

A statement issued Thursday says two detainees suffered minor abrasions in the alleged assaults and eight others were sealed in a cell that had been sprayed with a riot control agent.

The alleged assaults occurred at the Camp Bucca detention center in southern Iraq on May 14 and a formal investigation began four days later.
