WASHINGTON — A massive leak of classified U.S. documents from the Iraq war Friday details hundreds of incidents in which American troops found evidence that Iraqi security forces were abusing prisoners, including reports that U.S. soldiers did not always take steps to stop the abuse.
The accounts of prisoner mistreatment by Iraqi forces are the most explosive element of the nearly 400,000 classified reports made public by WikiLeaks in one of the largest leaks of classified material in American history.
Though abuse of prisoners in Iraqi custody has been documented in the past, the Wikileaks documents reveal details on cases in which U.S. troops became aware of the incidents.
