BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers are being investigated in connection with the wrongful deaths of three Iraqis, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.
A statement from the 1st Cavalry Division said charges had been preferred against the soldiers, both members of Task Force Baghdad, but gave no further details.
"The Army's Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is currently investigating the allegations. The events relating to these charges cannot be discussed in detail at this time due to the on-going investigation," the statement said.
Army investigators have launched several probes into the wrongful deaths of Iraqis since the invasion to overthrow President Saddam Hussein last year.
Some have related to the death of prisoners being held at U.S.-run detention facilities, others to civilians killed while U.S. troops were on operations.
