In the Philippines, prosecutors have charged four U.S. marines with the rape of a 22-year old Filipina woman. The alleged incident took place near a former US Navy base last month. The charged soldiers are Lt. Corporal Daniel Smith, Staff Sergeant Chad Carpenter, Lt. Corporal Dominic Duplantis and Lt. Corporal Keith Silkwood and Timotheo Soriano. The U.S. embassy has not responded to a request to hand them over to local authorities.
