The former US commander in charge of the Iraqi prison at the centre of the abuse scandal has been demoted on the orders of President George W Bush. Army Reserve Brigadier General Janis Karpinski has been reduced in rank to colonel, a US army statement said.
She was found guilty of dereliction of duty and accused of concealing a past shoplifting arrest, the army added.
Gen Karpinski is the highest-ranking US soldier to be disciplined over prisoner abuse at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison.
