On 3 January 2004 , he forced, at gunpoint, civilian plumbers Zaidoun Hassoun, 19, and Marwan Fadel to leap from a road bridge in Samarra , Iraq , into the waters of the River Tigris below. The cousins Hassoun and Fadel had been caught by a U.S. checkpoint after curfew. Fadel managed to reach the riverbank, but claims that he saw Hassoun drown and that the family later retrieved and buried the body. On 8 January 2005 , a military court in Fort Hood , Texas , USA , acquitted Perkins of manslaughter but convicted him of aggravated assault and obstruction of justice. He received a prison term of six months and a reduction in rank. The trial of the OIC, First Lieutenant Jack Saville , has been postponed until what the family claims is Hassoun's corpse can be exhumed and examined. EXTERNAL LINKS |
