Afghans say they were kicked and abused in US hands

More than 30 Afghans seized by American troops say they were kicked and abused at a US Army detention centre before being freed four days later.

US Central Command spokesman Major Ralph Mills says any injuries could have happened when the men were apprehended in last Sunday's raid.

The accounts of mistreatment are similar to those in February from another group seized on January 23.

"If they gave us all of Afghanistan now, this wouldn't make up for this insult," said one of the bruised and angry men, Fida Mohammad, 35.
