Iraq detainees 'found starving'

The prisoners, many malnourished and some showing signs of torture, were found when US troops took control of a interior ministry building on Sunday.

'Hard evidence'
There have been persistent allegations of abuse by members of the Shia-dominated security forces, our correspondent says.

But Sunday's discovery is hard evidence and officials believe it may be the tip of the iceberg.

There are suspicions the building may also have been used as a base for a militia called the Badr Brigade, which has links to senior government officials, our correspondent adds.
