Two more charged with Afghan prisoner abuse
Two more charged with Afghan prisoner abuse

22/09/2005 - 9:19:34 AM

Two more US soldiers have been charged after an Afghanistan prisoner abuse investigation centred on two detainees who died in custody, the Army announced in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Sergeant Alan Driver and Spc Nathan Adam Jones, both reservists with the Cincinnati-based 377th Military Police Company, were the latest to be named in an investigation which has seen 14 soldiers charged with misconduct.

Driver faces charges of assault and maltreatment. Jones is accused of assault, maltreatment and making a false official statement.

Two Afghan detainees died after being taken into US custody in December 2002. Both were being held in a detention centre at Bagram Airfield.

1. The more they investigate, the more they find involved in the
same two deaths.

either that or they are slowly releasing the names of those involved...instead of telling the story as a whole - showing just how systemic it was...

and we know abuse throughout the war on terror has been systemic.
