Spanish court orders arrest of US soldiers
A Spanish high court has issued international arrest warrants for three US soldiers in connection with the death of a Spanish cameraman.
The soldiers allegedly killed Telecinco cameraman Jose Couso and Reuters cameraman Taras Protsyuk and seriously injured three Reuters staff when a shell was fired from their tank into the Palestine Hotel in April 2003.
Judge Santiago Pedraz said a probe had shown the soldiers could be responsible for murder and crimes against international community.
The three men were named as Sergeant Thomas Gibson, Captain Philip Wolford and Lieutenant Colonel Philip De Camp.
Judge Pedraz says the warrants are "the only effective measure to ensure the accused are made available to Spanish judicial authorities" because US authorities have refused to cooperate.
The Pentagon, however, has defended the US soldiers. "The US Central Central Command determined that the US service members acted appropriately," Pentagon spokesman said.
