From the BBC:
US officers 'murdered by soldier'A US soldier serving in Iraq has been charged with murdering two of his own officers whose deaths in an explosion were initially blamed on rebels.
Capt Phillip T Esposito and 1st Lt Louis E Allen were said to have been killed in a mortar attack near the town of Tikrit on 7 June.
However, the military has since charged Sgt Alberto Martinez with the two deaths in his National Guard unit.
The article reports that both men were popular and well liked by the people under their command. So, could this be a fragging, or simply a case of a soldier who came unhinged?
