US soldier faces court-martial over Iraq shootings

By DAVID RISING – 14 hours ago

BERLIN (AP) — A U.S. Army sergeant will face a court-martial on murder charges for alleged involvement in the killing of four Iraqi prisoners who were found bound, blindfolded, shot and dumped in a Baghdad canal, the military said Tuesday.

Sgt. 1st Class Joseph P. Mayo, 27, will be court-martialed on charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice stemming from the spring 2007 incident, the military said in a statement.

At a hearing last month, Mayo's attorney told a military panel there was not enough evidence to bring his client before a court-martial.

But the panel decided to recommend the case be taken to one, the military said. No date has been set for the proceeding. snip

The prisoners were then taken to the U.S. unit's operating base in Baghdad. Later that night, according to testimony, members of the patrol took the Iraqis to a remote location and killed them in retribution for attacks.

Some having holes drilled in their hands with bolts through the holes. Did they ever catch who exactly did that I wonder. :shrug:
