General to testify on abuse probe (As many as 300 more photos of abuse)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- With the Army general who investigated abuse of prisoners in Iraq set to testify before a Senate committee Tuesday, Pentagon sources told CNN there are 200 to 300 more photographs of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison.

Army Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, author of a leaked internal report on abuses at U.S.-run prisons in Iraq, is scheduled to be the first witness when a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee convenes at 9:30 a.m.

An afternoon committee session is to include testimony from other military officers and will focus on intelligence issues, according to a press release. (Full story)

The Senate voted 92-0 Monday for a resolution "condemning the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison urging a full and complete investigation."

The Pentagon sources said officials also are investigating an allegation that three soldiers took a female detainee to an isolated area, and while one stood guard, the other two attempted to fondle and kiss her until another soldier caught them.
