'Palestinian hanging': Iraqi's death came during CIA interrogation

An Iraqi whose corpse was photographed with grinning U.S. soldiers : at Abu Ghraib died under CIA interrogation while suspended by his wrists, which had been handcuffed behind his back, according to investigative reports reviewed by The Associated Press.

The death of the prisoner, Manadel al-Jamadi, became known last year when the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. The U.S. military said back then that it had been ruled a homicide. But the exact circumstances of the death were not disclosed at the time.

The prisoner died in a position known as 'Palestinian hanging,' the documents reviewed by The AP show."
