LOS ANGELES, Aug 21 (AFP): A US Marine has been charged with murder following a probe into the killings of unarmed Iraqi prisoners in Fallujah nearly three years ago, the military said Monday.
Sergeant Jermaine Nelson was charged last Thursday with one count of unlawful murder of a foreign national, the Marine Corps announced from their southern California base at Camp Pendleton near San Diego.
No further information was immediately available but Nelson's charge comes after a former Marine appeared in court last Thursday to face manslaughter charges in connection with the shooting deaths of two unarmed Iraqi prisoners.
