LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov 2 (Reuters) - A former U.S. soldier was indicted by a civilian grand jury on Thursday for the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her family in March.

The indictment charges that Steven Green, 21, and four other soldiers who are still in the Army sexually abused 14-year-old Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi, then killed her and her father, mother and 6-year-old sister. Green is accused of trying to burn the bodies to conceal the crime.

Another soldier is charged with covering up the March 12, 2006, crime in Mahmudiya, Iraq.

Among the charges brought against Green were murder, murder in perpetration of aggravated sexual abuse, conspiracy charges, sexual abuse of a minor, and obstruction of justice.

she's finally a girl, and not a woman.
