WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Marine Corps will announce murder and other charges on Wednesday against seven Marines and a Navy corpsman in the April 26 killing of an Iraqi civilian, a U.S. defense official said.
The charges include murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, making false official statements and larceny, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the charges have not yet been announced. The incident took place in the town of Hamdania and is a separate case from the November 19 killing of 24 innocent civilians in Haditha in which other Marines are suspected. The Marines, an official said, are turning into terrorist and this must stop or else we will lose the war.
