FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - The U.S. Army has charged three
soldiers with murder for their role in the killing of Iraqis last
year.
Authorities say the Iraqi men were blindfolded, shot in the head
and dumped in a Baghdad canal around April 2007 in alleged
retribution for casualties within the 172nd Infantry Brigade.
The Army said in a statement released Wednesday that Sgt. John
Hatley, Sgt. 1st Class Joseph P. Mayo and Sgt. Michael P. Leahy Jr.
- all formerly assigned to 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment -
face charges premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit premeditated
murder and obstruction of justice.
