Timeline: The Haditha investigation

Associated Press
A timeline of events surrounding the alleged massacre at Haditha, Iraq, based on a June 1 White House account and other details compiled by The Associated Press:

---

Nov. 19: A roadside bomb goes off at Haditha, killing a U.S. Marine and injuring two other members of his battalion. In the following hours, a number of Iraqis die. Subsequent press reports say the Iraqi death toll was 24. The military sends a team to investigate and document the scene.

Snip...

July 7: A U.S. military official says Chiarelli agrees with Bargewell's report that errors were made in the reporting and follow-up of initial allegations after the killings.

Aug. 2: In a federal lawsuit, Wuterich accuses Murtha of defaming him in public comments about the case.

Aug. 2: Pentagon officials say evidence collected in the Haditha probe supports accusations that U.S. Marines deliberately shot the civilians, including unarmed women and children. Marine and Navy prosecutors will review the evidence and determine whether to recommend criminal charges.
