WASHINGTON -- Up to 28 U.S. soldiers face possible criminal
charges in connection with the deaths of two prisoners at
an American-run prison in Afghanistan two years ago, the
Army announced Thursday.
The most serious potential charges include involuntary
manslaughter and maiming.
So far, only one person has actually been charged in
connection with the deaths. Sgt. James P. Boland of the
Army Reserve's 377th Military Policy Company, based in
Cincinnati, was charged Aug. 23.
Jumana Musa, an advocacy director with Amnesty
International, said that the investigation into the deaths
took far too long, and that the 22-month interval ''is not
conducive to protecting prisoners from torture and abuse.''
In the first case, Mullah Habibullah, about 28, died of
''pulmonary embolism due to blunt force injuries to the
legs,'' according to doctors. He was in detention at
Bagram, Afghanistan.
About a week later, on Dec. 10, an Afghan identified only
as Dilawar, 22, died in U.S. custody at Bagram. Doctors
blamed his death on ''blunt force injuries to lower
extremities complicating coronary artery disease.''
Sgt. Boland's charge sheet says Boland, who was a guard at
the Bagram prison, failed to take corrective action against
another soldier who struck Habibullah while he was
restrained. AP
