Baghdad, Feb 17 - Iraqis expressed outrage on Thursday after new revelations of prisoner abuse at Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, warning that the images would further inflame already intense anti-Western sentiment.
The government renewed its condemnation of the 2003 scandal.
"The Iraqi government strongly condemns the torture of Iraqi prisoners revealed in the images broadcast and insist that it is not repeated," the government said in a statement.
An official in Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari's office said "this serious affair totally contradicts human rights and should not be repeated."
Australian television earlier this week broadcast a new batch of photos linked to the abuse of Iraqi detainees at the USs-run Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad. The pictures showed one man covered in what appeared to be excrement, another with a gash in his throat, and an alleged interrogation room covered in blood.
