Army Criminal Charge Sheet re: Mock Execution of a Detainee
Aug. 28, 2003 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 987
This Charge Sheet describes charges brought against Soldiers who staged a mock execution on an Iraqi boy (13-17 years old) by driving him to a field and firing live rounds near his head. They claim it was done to scare him off from looting. The boy was then released to find his way home on foot. The detention of the Iraqi boy, who was thought to be a looter, was found to be outside the scope of the Unit's patrol area and a dereliction of their duties.
