US marines find underground prison, bodies in Fallujah

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/041112/323/f6ieo.html

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - US marines uncovered an underground prison in Fallujah containing at least two bodies and two emaciated men who were still alive, an intelligence officer, who refused to be identified, told AFP.

The prison was discovered in a house in the Jolan neighbourhood, considered the insurgent nerve centre in the city. Marines were clearing a house that had just been shelled by US military and were alerted by screaming.

The troops opened a door at the back of the house and found a barred prison with three cells.

An AFP reporter saw two corpses covered in ash, and what appeared to be two handicapped men were led from the building.
