investigation and find that the Soldiers’ actions, which ultimately led to
the shooting death of a local national on the night of 10 July 2006, were in accordance
with the ROE. The Soldiers involved were searching a building for suspected kidnappers
when several local national males were cleared out of the building. One of
the local nationals then turned on the Soldier guiding him to the side of the
building and committed a hostile act when he tried to forcibly take the
Soldier’s weapon. The local national was only prevented from taking the
weapon because it was snap-linked to the Soldier’s IBA. The local national
then ran away from the Soldiers down an alley. The local national disobeyed
repeated orders in Arabic to stop, a warning shot, and a nonlethal round
fired at his abdomen. SPC lnnes then tried to stop the local national by
shooting him in the leg. Unfortunately, the shot caused excessive bleeding
and the local national bled to death. “2. I recommend that the investigating officer’s
findings and recommendations be approved with the following exceptions/
substitutions: “a. The element involved will conduct EOF refresher
training and recertification IAW MNC-I [redacted]. “b. A CERP condolence payment will be made to the
family of the deceased local national IAW MNC [redacted]. […]” |
