Abu Ghraib prison, infamous for its prisoner abuse scandal in 2004, was attacked by anti-occupation fighters in Iraq. According to current information they injured 44 U.S soldiers and 12 prisoners.

The anti-occupation fighters set off two car bombs and fired out a number of grenades. The gunfire between two sides lasted about 40 minutes.

The situation in Iraq was seemingly getting better. However, the latest attacks show that the anti-occupation fighters are rather getting more organized and they plan their attacks better.

Earlier yesterday local official Hassib Zamil was killed.
