Iraq: U.S. soldiers charged with murder in military court
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/GEO163980.htm

BAGHDAD, Aug 1 (Reuters) - A military court opened a preliminary hearing in Baghdad on Tuesday to determine whether four U.S. soldiers charged over the deaths of three male prisoners in Iraq will face court martials.

They have already been charged with murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, communicating a threat, and obstructing justice in the killings in or around May 9 north of Baghdad.

The Article 32 hearing comes at a sensitive time when the military is investigating other cases of alleged abuses, including the killings of up to 24 unarmed civilians in the town of Haditha last year by U.S. Marines.
