Iraqi alleges Abu Ghraib torture, sues US contractors

By GREG RISLING – 1 hour ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An Iraqi man sued two U.S. military
contractors Monday, claiming he was repeatedly tortured
while being held at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison for
more than 10 months.

Emad al-Janabi's federal lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles,
claims that employees of CACI International Inc. and L-3
Communications punched him, slammed him into walls, hung
from a bed frame and kept him naked and handcuffed in
his cell beginning in September 2003.

Also named as a defendant is CACI interrogator Steven
Stefanowicz, known as "Big Steve." The suit claims he
directed some of the torture tactics.

Phone messages left for Arlington, Va.-based CACI and
New York City-based L-3 Communications, formerly Titan
Corp., were not immediately returned Monday. Stefanowicz
could not immediately be reached for comment at a Los
Angeles address.
