Two U.S. soldiers are facing murder charges for shooting dead an innocent Iraqi teenager. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, the two soldiers said they first shot the teenager after they mistook him as an insurgent. The teenager was severely injured after the initial shots. Then the soldiers shot him again to “put him out of his misery.” US military officials told the LA Times they could not identify the dead Iraqi boy because they did not collect information at the scene and had lost track of his body.
