Sgt Hasan Akbar was convicted by general court martial. Story here: www.thedailytimes.com/sited/story/html/204932Now let's hope that they have the stones to issue and carry out the death penalty. Can't make this bastard dead enough for me. |

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A military jury sentenced a soldier to death Thursday for a grenade and rifle attack on his own comrades during the opening days of the Iraq invasion, a barrage that killed two officers and that prosecutors said was driven by religious extremism. Sgt. Hasan Akbar (search), who gave a brief, barely audible apology hours earlier, stood at attention between his lawyers as the verdict was delivered. He showed no emotion. He could have been sentenced to life in prison with or without parole for the early morning March 2003 attack, which also wounded 14 fellow members of the Army's 101st Airborne Division (search) at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait -- If given a death sentence, Hasan Akbar would join five others on the military's death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The last U.S. military execution was in 1961. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,154979,00.html In other words, this piece of shit is probably going to outlive most of us. |
