Report says 98 dead in US custody in Iraq, Afghanistan
"Nearly 100 prisoners have died in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan since August 2002, the Human Rights First organisation has said on BBC television.
"At least 98 deaths occurred, with at least 34 of them suspected or confirmed homicides -- deliberate or reckless killing -- according to the group of US lawyers who will publish the report.
"Their dossier claims that 11 more deaths are deemed suspicious and that between eight and 12 prisoners were tortured to death."
