Spanish Judge Seeks To Question U.S. Troops Over Couso Death

HeadlineJun 08, 2005

In Madrid, a Spanish judge has announced he wants to question three American soldiers connected to the killing of Spanish journalist Jose Couso in Iraq. On April 8th, 2003 a U.S. tank opened fire on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad killing Couso and fellow cameraman Taras Protsiuk. A Pentagon report on the incident concluded the U.S.-led forces bore “no fault or negligence.” No charges have been brought yet against the soldiers in Spain but they are being considered as suspects for murder and for crimes against the international community.
