7 Marines Charged With Murder in Iraq
7 Marines and one sailor were charged with first degree murder and other crimes this week as the result of the killing of an Iraqi civilian.
In the case of the April killing of an Iraqi civilian, the allegation is that Marines pulled an unarmed man from his home on April 26 and shot him to death without provocation.
That makes 11 members of the military this week charged with murders in Iraq. The investigation into the Haditha killings of 24 civilians is still underway.
