The US military has filed criminal charges against six of its soldiers who are accused of abusing Iraqi prisoners.
The charges are now being examined by the military equivalent of a grand jury, a US military spokesman told the BBC's Newshour programme.
Six senior US officers were also reprimanded, the army said earlier.
The spokesman, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, said they had not taken part in the criminal actions, but had been responsible for supervising the others.
