Ex-soldier charged
with rape and killing
By TIM WHITMIRE
Associated Press Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C.-
Federal prosecutors charged
a veteran of the Iraq war with
murder and rape Monday in
connection with the killing
of an Iraqi woman and mem
bers of her family.
Steven D. Green, a 21-
year-old former private first
class who was discharged
from the Army, appeared in
a federal magistrate’s court
room in Charlotte Monday.
The charges grew out of a
military investigation involv
ing up to five soldiers in the
March rape and killing of
the woman in Mahmoudiya
and three of her relatives.
Prosecutors said Green
and other soldiers entered
the home of a family of Iraqi
civilians, where he and oth
ers raped a member of the
family before Green shot her
and three of her relatives to
death.
Green was arrested
in recent days in North
Carolina, two federal law
enforcement officials said
Monday.
He is being held with
out bond pending a trans
fer to Louisville, Ky. Green
had served with the 101st
Airborne, based at Fort
Campbell, Ky.
It was unclear why Green

had been discharged from
the Army.
On Friday, the U.S. military
acknowledged that Maj. Gen.
James D. Thurman, com
mander of the 4th Infantry
Division, had ordered a
criminal investigation into
the alleged slaying of a fam
ily of four in Mahmoudiya.
Four members of the 502nd
Infantry Regiment have had
their weapons taken away
and were confined to a U.S.
base near Mahmoudiya, offi
cials said.
If convicted of premeditat
ed murder, the soldiers could
receive a death sentence
under U.S. military law.
The suspects belong to the
same unit as two soldiers
kidnapped and killed south
of Baghdad last month, a
military official said on con
dition of anonymity because
the case was under way.
The military has said that
one and possibly both of the
slain soldiers were tortured
and beheaded.
The official said the muti
lation of the slain soldiers
stirred feelings of guilt and
led at least one member of
the platoon to reveal the
rape-slaying on June 22.
One soldier was arrested
after admitting his role in
the alleged attack on the
family, the official said.
