Army: 5 soldiers implicated in 3 Afghan deaths

FORT LEWIS, Washington - A US Army spokeswoman says five soldiers from the same unit have now been implicated in the murders of three Afghan civilians.
The Army said Friday that Spc. Jeremy Morlock had been charged with three counts of premeditated murder and one count of assault. On Monday, Lt. Col. Tamara Parker at Joint Base Lewis-McChord said there is enough evidence to say four other soldiers may be charged.
Parker says one of the four soldiers is being held in confinement in Kuwait and the other three remain with their unit in Afghanistan.
Like the 22-year-old Morlock, the others are assigned to B Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
A senior military official said last month that about 10 members of an Army unit based at Fort Lewis have been under investigation for as many as three civilian deaths in Afghanistan.
