Grand Jury Investigates CIA Over Death of Abu Ghraib Prisoner 
--------------------------------------------------------------



Time Magazine has revealed a secret U.S. federal grand jury is looking
into the role of CIA agents in the death of an Iraqi prisoner at Abu
Ghraib in 2003. The death of Manadel al-Jamadi became publicly known
after photos were leaked showing him wrapped in cellophane and packed in
ice. Some photos show U.S. military personnel posing over his dead body.
Al-Jamadi's death was officially classified as a homicide, but the only
person ever charged in the case was found to be innocent.
