U.S. Jails Journalist in Iraq
Associated Press
Monday, September 18, 2006; Page A11
The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for
five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges
or permitting a public hearing.
Bilal Hussein, 35, an Iraqi citizen, was being held for "imperative reasons of
security" under United Nations resolutions, according to military officials.
Hussein, 35, was detained April 12.
His Iraqi attorney, Badie Arief Izzat, said Hussein has proclaimed his
innocence and believes he has been unfairly targeted because his photos from
Ramadi and Fallujah, two cities in restive Anbar province, were deemed
unwelcome by the U.S. military
