4. Here's AP coverage of Sunday's hearing. There were 2 other witnesses-
Iraqi medic describes finding burned body of girl in U.S. troops' rape-slaying hearing
...
The medic, whose name was withheld for security reasons, told the hearing that he was the first responder to enter the house and found the girl sprawled naked in the house, her torso and head burned by flames. She had a single bullet wound under her left eye, he said.

He testified that he found Abeer's 5-year-old sister, Hadeel, in an adjacent room. She was shot in the head and the bullet had blown out the back of her head, he said. The children's father, Qassim, and their mother, Fikhriya – had suffered similar deaths: the mother's abdomen and chest were riddled with bullets, he said.
...
The proceeding that opened Sunday is referred to as an Article 32 hearing, and is the military equivalent of a grand jury session.

The medic was among three Iraqi witnesses to testify Sunday. Reporters were not allowed to hear the first two witnesses but were allowed back in the hearing room when the medic took the stand.
