'I pray, cry and curse the US'

Abu Ghraib, Iraq - US authorities freed some 240 prisoners from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad to waiting relatives on Tuesday, amid continuing tension over the abuse of prisoners by military guards.

At midday, scores clustered around a US soldier who emerged at the dusty perimeter of the sprawling complex to announce the names of those released to a crowd of some 200 people, but most were left disappointed.

The authorities regularly free inmates from Abu Ghraib but some 5 000 so-called "security detainees" remain inside, some of whom have been held since the US-led invasion of the country in March last year which toppled Saddam Hussein.
