A third soldier had already pleaded guilty to one charge of
assault after he was pictured standing on an Iraqi.
The abuse took place after British troops rounded up looters who
were taking powdered milk from a humanitarian aid depot known as
Camp Bread Basket, near the southern Iraqi city of Basra in May
2003.
Judge Advocate Michael Hunter said on Wednesday that the most
senior of the three,
Corporal Daniel Kenyon, 33, who was found guilty on two charges of
failing to report that soldiers under his command had abused Iraqis,
would face a jail sentence of up to two years.
Sentencing was postponed until Friday.

Iraqis were outraged when the
pictures emerged |
The seven British officers acting as a jury in the court martial
found Lance Corporal Mark Cooley, 25, guilty of suspending an Iraqi
from a forklift truck and of simulating a punch on an Iraqi.
The
judge told him he faces up to two years in prison.
Lance Corporal Darren Larkin, 30, had pleaded guilty to assault
after he was pictured standing on an Iraqi and faces a possible
six-month prison sentence.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has described photographs of
the abuse taken by soldiers as "shocking and appalling".
