Investigation Recommends Charges From Prisoner Deaths in Afghanistan
by TChris
Charges ranging from manslaughter to conspiracy may be brought against 28 soldiers implicated in the deaths of two detainees at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Both prisoners died from blunt force injuries. Military medical examiners ruled each death a homicide.
"Many of the 28 soldiers may have lesser culpability," the Army said, adding that "Commanders, with the advice of their lawyers, will consider the full range of appropriate administrative and disciplinary measures from taking no action to recommending trial by court-martial."
One soldier, Sgt. James Boland, has already been charged.
