May 28 -- Troops from countries serving with the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq are accused of abusing prisoners, witnesses told army investigators, according to the Associated Press. The only country named in the witness statements obtained by AP was Poland, which was quick to deny the allegations. The documents also include other new details about the involvement of U.S. military intelligence soldiers in the abuse.

And, Iyad Allawi, a Shiite Muslim physician who spent years in exile, has been nominated by the Iraqi Governing Council to become the prime minister of the transitional Iraqi government. Allawi was endorsed unanimously by the council, but the White House stressed the nomination was only one of many recommendations being made to U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who is expected to announce the final lineup by Monday.
