A defense contractor paid more than $5 million to Iraqis held at Abu Ghraib and other sites. It's the end of a four-year legal battle over allegations of torture. Seventy-one former inmates had accused a subsidiary of Engility Holdings of contributing to the highly-publicized abuse at military detention centers between 2003 and 2009. L-3 Services provided 6,000 translators to the military in Iraq. This marks the first time the prisoners have collected money from a defense contractor in a lawsuit. A trial against another contractor, CACI International, is slated for this summer.
