MANHATTAN (CN) – The Second Circuit backed the U.S. government on Tuesday for its refusal to share what could be hundreds of photographs depicting torture at Abu Ghraib prison.

After 14 years in court, the federal appeals court agreed with the government that if released the photos could be used as a recruitment tool for the Islamic State group and otherwise harm U.S. personnel abroad.
