They Must All Die. This Land is Mine. She lay there, one leg was stretched and the other bent and her dress was lifted up to her neck. Janabi and his wife rushed to the farmhouse and doused some of the flames to get inside. Upon witnessing the scene inside, Janabi went to a checkpoint guarded by Iraqi soldiers to report the crime. The Iraqi soldiers immediately went to examine the scene and thereafter went to an American checkpoint to report the incident.

This checkpoint was different from the one manned by the perpetrators. After approximately an hour, some soldiers from the checkpoint went to the farmhouse.

Mahmudiyah rape and killings

These soldiers were accompanied by at least one of the perpetrators. Green and the other soldiers who participated in the incident told the Iraqi Army soldiers who arrived on scene immediately after the incident that it had been perpetrated by Sunni insurgents. These Iraqi soldiers conveyed this information to Abeer's uncle, who viewed the bodies. This lie prevented the event from being recognized as a crime or widely reported amidst the widespread violence occurring in Iraq at that time.

On June 16, a checkpoint manned by soldiers in the perpetrators' unit was attacked and overrun. Private Watt conducted a personal inquiry about this alarming act by a fellow soldier and coworker. He talked other members of his platoon who revealed to him that the gang-rape and murder had in fact occurred. Watt then reported what he believed to be true to another Non-Commissioned Officer in his platoon, Sergeant John Diem. Watt trusted Sergeant Diem; he told him that he knew a terrible crime had been committed and asked for his advice, knowing that if he reported the crime he would be considered a traitor to his unit and could possibly be killed by them.

Sergeant Diem told him to be cautious, but that he had a duty as an honorable soldier to report the crimes to the proper authorities.

Unfortunately, they did not trust their chain of command to protect them if they reported the war crime. So Private First Class Watt asked to speak with a mental health counselor, thereby bypassing the chain of command to report the crimes.

Before Watt reported the crimes, Green had previously been honorably discharged from the Army on May 16, , before the crime was recognized, with " antisocial personality disorder ". This video was accompanied by a statement saying that the group carried out the killings as "revenge for our sister who was dishonored by a soldier of the same brigade. At the time of Menchaca and Tucker's abduction on June 16, , only the perpetrators of the rape and murder, and a few soldiers in their unit engaged in covering up the crime, knew that it had been committed by American soldiers.

The crime was revealed by Pfc Justin Watt on June 22, and American responsibility only became "public knowledge" in Iraq on July 4, days after which the video by the Mujahideen Shura Council was released. Also, the abduction occurred on June 16, nine days after the targeted killing of the Shura Council's leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi , on June 7. Locals may have been able to deduce the guilt of the US soldiers from the nearby check point, after the Americans and their Iraqi cohort unit provided the explanation, 'Sunni extremists did this'. A portion of locals served as auxiliary support for both for Al Qaeda in Iraq and the s Revolutionary Brigade.

Auxiliary support comprised both material aid and performing a human intelligence support function. Relaying the accusation of the local MNC-I unit to the insurgents, is a basic function of that support. The Sunni extremists were able to eliminate themselves as suspects and having an already low opinion of the US military, may have assumed the guilt of the st Airborne soldiers.

From the perspective of the insurgency, whether or not they had evidence or confessions to prove the guilt of the US soldiers, the accusation alone was a propaganda victory. On July 4, Jaysh al-Mujahidin claimed downing a U. Green was arrested as a civilian, and convicted by a civilian court, the U. District Court in Paducah, Kentucky.

Anthony Yribe, was charged with failing to report the attack, but not with having participated in the rape and the murders. On May 7, , Green was found guilty by the federal court in Kentucky of rape and multiple counts of murder.

On July 6, , Green entered a plea of not guilty through his public defenders. On August 31, , a federal judge rejected a gag order. District Judge Thomas Russell said there is "no reason to believe" that Green's right to a fair trial would be in jeopardy.
