MOBILE phones fitted with digital cameras have been banned
in US army installations in Iraq on orders from Defence
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, The Business newspaper reported
today.

Quoting a Pentagon source, the paper said the US Defence
Department believes that some of the damning photos of US
soldiers abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad
were taken with camera phones.

"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras
have been prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it
said, adding that a "total ban throughout the US military"
is in the works.
