WASHINGTON (AP) - Four U.S. officers, including a brigadier-general, at the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are under criminal investigation for alleged sexual misconduct, a senior defence official said Friday.

The general's case has been referred to the army, the official said. U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the Guantanamo facility, announced March 4 two lieutenant-colonels and one colonel had been suspended pending an investigation of alleged "personal misconduct," which was not further described. It also said another officer's case had been referred to the army.

None of the accused officers has been identified by name and Southern Command did not disclose the case referred to the army involved a general officer.

The senior defence official is familiar with some details of the cases; he spoke only on condition of anonymity because the cases are under legal review.
