Commander of coalition forces witnessed prisoner abuse, lawyer claims: "A military lawyer involved in the investigation into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal testified that the commander of coalition forces in Iraq, General Ricardo Sanchez, was present at some prisoner interrogations at the jail and witnessed some of the abuse, it was reported yesterday.
Gen Sanchez's staff denied the claims, which have fuelled charges that the torture of prisoners was condoned by high US military officials. "
