Three U.S. Troops Indicted in Killing Spanish Journalist Jose Couso

HeadlineMay 01, 2007

A Spanish judge has indicted three U.S. soldiers in the killing of Jose Couso, the Spanish journalist who was killed when U.S. troops shelled the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad in April 2003. A Ukrainian cameraman for Reuters named Taras Protsyuk was also killed in the shelling. The Spanish judge indicted Sgt. Shawn Gibson, Capt. Philip Wolford and Lt. Col. Philip DeCamp. The three men were charged with homicide and committing a crime against the international community. The U.S. says it will not hand over the soldiers to stand trial. One of the men, Philip DeCamp, is now an adjunct professor of mathematics at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
