He did not describe the other case. Four US guards and one interrogator were involved in the cases, three of which appeared to be deliberate mishandling and two accidental, Hood said. Guantanamo detainees were interviewed about prison abuse. Hood also said US military investigators this month interviewed the detainee quoted in the August document.
Hood said this detainee did not mention during the 14 May interview that US personnel had placed a copy of the Quran in a toilet. Their behaviour is bad.
US military tells of Quran mishandling
About five months ago, the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Quran in the toilet," the FBI agent wrote, summarising the detainee's comments. Hood said the detainee, whom US officials have not identified, said at the 14 May interview that he had not been beaten or abused but that he had heard rumours that other detainees had been. But Hood said investigators did not directly ask the detainee about the Quran being placed in a toilet.
The issue of whether the Quran had been thrown in a toilet at Guantanamo has generated controversy globally in recent weeks. There have been reports that US guards kicked the Quran. Violent protests erupted in some Muslim countries after the article's publication, and at least 16 people died in rioting in Afghanistan.

The United States now holds about detainees at Guantanamo, a high-security prison opened in January for non-US citizens caught in the US "war on terrorism". Eight allegations of mishandling the Quran were not confirmed, Hood said. These involved six in which guards either accidentally touched a copy of the Quran, touched it within the scope of their duties or did not touch the book at all, he said.
Two additional incidents involved interrogators who either touched or stood over the Quran, Hood said. Hood said the inquiry turned up 15 incidents in which detainees themselves "mishandled or inappropriately treated the Quran," including one case in which a detainee ripped pages from his own Quran.
Hood said investigators have combed through 31, pages of documents, such as day-to-day logs at the base, but did not say how many people had been interviewed in the inquiry.
