Washington, Aug 23 - A US general has recommended the release of around 400 prisoners from Pentagon's Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, the Online news agency reported Saturday.

Major General Doug Stone had recently reviewed the facility at Bagram, which has been a source of growing public anger in Afghanistan. Human rights groups have also been critical of the facility.

On Saturday, he submitted a 700-page report to the US government.

In his report, Stone recommended the US military and the Afghan government to revamp the centre.

He outlined his views to the top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, US special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

'Right now, we are evaluating courses of actions about how we move forward,' Lt. Cmdr. Bill Speakes, a Central Command spokesman, told the National Public Radio.
