6th U.S. Soldier Charged in Afghan "Kill Team" Case 
----------------------------------------------------



A sixth U.S. soldier has been indicted in the case of the U.S. Army
"kill team" that murdered three Afghan civilians last year. Staff Sgt.
David Bram faces a number of charges, including solicitation to commit
premeditated murder. Another soldier sentenced to 24 years in
prison—Specialist Jeremy Morlock— says Bram authorized him to commit
the first of the three killings in January of 2010. Bram faces up to 21
years in prison.
