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.

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. SB!
