An army investigation into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal has found that US officers sexually exploited Iraqi teenage prisoners and intimidated them by using military dogs, a media report said. Major General George R Fay’s report also expanded the circle of soldiers considered responsible for abuse beyond the seven facing charges to more than a dozen others. ‘‘It had nothing to do with interrogation.
