San Diego Union-TribuneMarine Lance Cpl. Jesse Klingler was gagged and blindfolded with his hands and legs tied behind him when an actor playing the role of an enemy combatant pressed an AK-47 loaded with blanks against his right thigh and fired.
The rifle sent a fireball of gases into Klingler's leg, leaving him with a bloody wound that ended his military career.

The suit also names Rocky Mohsen, who was working as a role player for Strategic Operations. Mohsen, 46, who is also known as Ali Mohammad Mohsen, is Lebanese immigrant who speaks fluent Arabic. He was fired immediately after the incident, the Marines' report said. All the parties in the case agree that Mohsen fired the gun into Klingler's thigh at point-blank range. What they do not agree upon is who is at fault.
According to the Marines' report, Mohsen had told his employers that he had served in the Lebanese army and was a sharpshooter experienced in handling automatic weapons.
Mohsen did not tell them that he is a felon with at least two drug convictions and two restraining orders sought against him by women who said he was harassing and threatening them, said Klingler's lawyer, Robert Gaglione. Read more:
