BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A mortar attack on an American-run prison in Baghdad killed at least 22 detainees Tuesday, the U.S. Army said.
Twelve mortars struck the prison at Abu Ghraib on the Iraqi capital's western outskirts, according to the U.S.-led Coalition Press Information Center.
In addition, 92 other detainees were wounded, and 25 were transported to a hospital, the press center said.
About 4,400 detainees are held in the prison, which the U.S. military now calls the Baghdad Confinement Facility.
