A US Army colonel has recommended the court-martial of the first of twelve US soldiers accused of forming a secret “kill team” in Afghanistan. The soldier, Army Specialist Jeremy Morlock, is charged with premeditated murder in the deaths of three Afghan civilians, assaulting a fellow soldier, and “wrongfully photographing and possessing visual images of human casualties.” The investigating officer who presided over Morlock’s preliminary hearing says there’s sufficient evidence to try him in military court. The officer’s recommendation has been submitted to a court-martial convening authority, which will issue a final decision in the coming weeks.
