A military trial is about to begin for the last of the U.S. marines charged in the massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians in the Iraqi village of Haditha in November 2005. The victims, including women and children, were killed when the marines burst into their homes and shot them dead in their nightclothes. The marines’ squadron leader, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, will be tried on manslaughter charges in a military courtroom at Camp Pendleton near San Diego. Jury selection begins today, and opening arguments are expected on Friday. Wuterich is the last defendant to face charges for the Haditha killings. Six other marines have had their charges dropped or dismissed, while another soldier was acquitted.
