US to begin transfer of Iraqi prisoners on Feb 1

American forces in Iraq will begin to transfer coalition-held prisoners to the Iraqi authorities from the beginning of February, a top US commander said in a statement on Thursday. "The first batch of files to be reviewed by the government of Iraq (GoI) will be available December 15," Brigadier General David Quantock told US and Iraqi officials. "This will give the GoI 45 days to review the files and identify the detainees they wish to be released or transferred to Iraqi prisons beginning February 1, 2009," the statement quoted him as saying.
