A court-martial found US soldier Lynndie England guilty on Monday of abusing prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison in a scandal that caused international outrage.

The former chicken factory worker now faces a prison term of up to 10 years, for convictions on six out of seven abuse-related charges. England, 22, showed no visible reaction as she stood at attention to hear the verdict.

In photographs published around the world, England, a young female Army reservist, was shown holding a naked Iraqi prisoner by a leash and pointing to an inmate's genitals.
