Abu Ghraib inmate death probed
Advertisements [?]
THE US military is investigating the death of a man who died this week at Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, the US command said today.

The prisoner appeared to have died of natural causes, but an autopsy will be carried out to determine the cause of death, the military said in a statement.

Detainees told prison guards early Monday that the 42-year-old inmate "appeared to be suffering a medical problem," the statement said. Medics rushed him to a prison hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The man, who was not identified, had been held since May because he was believed to be "an imperative threat for attacks against coalition forces," the military said. He had not been interrogated since his arrival.
