MoD faces legal claim (manslaughter) over Red Cap deaths
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 12:01 PM by dArKeR
The families of six Royal Military Policemen killed by a mob in Iraq are reportedly ready to take legal action against the Ministry of Defence.

The relatives were said to be ready to sue the MoD for corporate manslaughter, claiming the deaths of the Red Caps were due to a series of avoidable Army blunders.

Tony Hamilton-Jewell, whose 41-year-old brother Simon died in the attack, told the Daily Mirror that every other route had failed and that going to court was the families' "last resort to get the truth out of the MoD".

The Mirror cover says 'Accused of Manslaughter' but I don't see the story link.

I really don't see why Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell aren't having these charges filed by our own citizens?
