Soldier to Face Court-Martial over "Kill Team" Charges
------------------------------------------------------



An Army commander has ordered Spc. Jeremy Morlock to face a general
court-martial for allegedly murdering three Afghan men and for being
part of a secret "kill team" in Afghanistan that murdered unarmed
civilians at random and collected body parts, such as fingers, for
trophies. If convicted, Morlock could face life in prison without
parole. Morlock is one of twelve US soldiers accused of forming the
secret kill team.
