Legal fallout follows several marines three years after the battle of Falluja

LOS ANGELES: Nearly three years after the battle of Falluja earned the U.S. Marines more Navy Cross medals for heroism than any other action in Iraq, prosecutors are investigating whether members of one squad killed a group of captured insurgents there.

However, getting charges to stick could prove difficult as prosecutors try to assemble concrete evidence from a battle that reduced much of the city to rubble and caused extensive casualties. The identities of the victims are unknown.

Several marines are under investigation, and the former squad leader, now a civilian, has been charged in U.S. court with two counts of voluntary manslaughter.

About 130 marines were killed during the 53-day battle, more than 1,000 were wounded and about 1,000 insurgents were killed, said a Marine Corps spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Hughes. There is no count of civilian deaths.
