UNITED STATES27 detainees killed in Iraq, Afghanistan Twenty-seven detainees were killed in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan in suspected or confirmed homicide cases between August 2002 and November 2004, the U.S. Army said March 24 in its first comprehensive accounting. The Army Criminal Investigation Command said that in the 16 cases it has completed thus far, it found sufficient evidence to support a range of charges against 21 soldiers, including murder, negligent homicide and assault. It did not specify how many of the 21 had been charged. There are 24 cases encompassing the 27 deaths. All but two of the 24 cases involved a single Iraqi or Afghan death. One case involved two deaths and another involved three. Chris Grey, spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Command, said 17 of the 24 homicide cases happened in Iraq; the other seven were in Afghanistan.
