Mirror editor Piers Morgan has refused to resign over the controversial Iraq photos row.

Armed forces minister Adam Ingram yesterday told the Commons that the photos were "categorically not taken in Iraq".

Morgan responded by insisting the government "bring to book" those soldiers who had perpetrated the alleged abuse.

He said Ingram had "still not produced incontrovertible evidence" the photos were staged.

Ingram said Morgan had dragged the name of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment "through the mud".

The Guardian reports that two Britons held in Guantanamo Bay have alleged they suffered similar treatment to the abused prisoners in Abu Ghraib jail.

Peter Hain, meanwhile, has launched a strong attack on the American abuse of prisoners.

The leader of the Commons told MPs yesterday that the reports "have not just been sickening but absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable."
