Former Australian troops charged in Afghan deaths

None

Three former Australian commandos are facing serious charges in relation to a late-night raid on a compound in Afghanistan that killed five children, Australia's top military prosecutor said Monday.

 

The special forces soldiers, who were not identified, face multiple charges including manslaughter, dangerous conduct, failing to comply with a lawful general order and prejudicial conduct, Brigadier Lyn McDade, the director of military prosecutions, said in a statement. It wasn't clear if all three will face the same charges. (AP)
