BERLIN (AP) - Four American soldiers accused of involvement in the slaying
of prisoners in Iraq will be brought before a military tribunal in Germany
next month, the Army said Thursday.

The enlisted soldiers are scheduled for an Article 32 hearing Aug. 26 to
determine if there is enough evidence to court martial them on charges of
conspiracy to commit premeditated murder, according to an Army statement.

The four - Staff Sgt. Jess Cunningham, Sgt. Charles Quigley, Spc. Stephen
Ribordy and Spc. Belmor Ramos of the Germany-based 172nd Infantry Brigade -
have not yet entered pleas.

The charges stem from allegations that they were part of a unit that killed
"male detainees of apparent Middle-Eastern descent" between March 10 and
April 16, 2007, in and around Baghdad, the statement said.

It is alleged that each soldier "and members of his unit took male detainees
to a canal and members of his unit did shoot the male detainees," according
to the charge sheet.

Have there been any meaningful convictions yet?
