A U.S. Army inquiry into the abuse of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison faults U.S. commanders for creating conditions that led to the mistreatment and for failing to provide leadership. But, aside from the colonel in charge of military intelligence at the prison, the probe found no evidence the officers were directly involved, The New York Times reported. The investigation's report is expected to blame at least two dozen military intelligence personnel, civilian contractors and Central Intelligence Agency officers for wrongdoing, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed officials. The Abu Ghraib scandal erupted in April, when photographs emerged showing U.S. soldiers abusing and humiliating the prisoners. The images sparked outrage around the world and badly damaged U.S. credibility. --SP 2243 Local Time 1943 GMT
