The notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is to close and its prisoners housed elsewhere, according to US military sources.

The US military are expected to close Abu Ghraib prison within three months.

They plan to transfer some 4,500 prisoners to other jails in Iraq, a military spokesman said.

The prison in western Baghdad was a torture centre under Saddam Hussein before photographs of American soldiers abusing Iraqis there in 2003 gave it a new notoriety.
