In Afghanistan, twelve U.S. soldiers are facing a slew of conspiracy charges to murder Afghan civilians and cover it up. Five soldiers face murder charges, while seven others are charged with participating in a coverup. According to military documents, soldiers were involved in throwing grenades at civilians and then shooting them in separate incidents in which three Afghan men died. There are also charges that they used hashish, mutilated corpses and kept finger bones, leg bones and a tooth from Afghan corpses as souvenirs. Eight of the soldiers also are charged with using hashish and beating a junior soldier in an attempt to stop him from reporting them for misconduct, including hashish use. Five soldiers were originally arrested in June and seven others were charged last month. The documents released by the Army this week are the most detailed disclosure of what the men are alleged to have done.
