An Iraqi child stands behind a barrier of razor wire outside Abu Gharib prison, 35km west of Baghdad yesterday as a crowd of several hundred wait for an announced prisoner release by the US-led interim government following the announcement on Wednesday by Paul Bremer, the top official in Iraq. Bremer said that the US-led coalition would release 100 Iraqi prisoners, with hundreds more to be freed in coming weeks, on condition they renounce violence. PHOTO: AFP
