LONDON - Britain's attorney general said Thursday that seven British soldiers
would be court-martialed in the killing of an Iraqi civilian in 2003.
Lord Goldsmith said the soldiers would be tried in connection with the death
of Nadhem Abdullah on May 11, 2003, in Al U'Zayra in southern Iraq. The incident
occurred at the roadside.
The seven soldiers were members of the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment,
Goldsmith said in a statement to Parliament.
