As if there was any doubt:
A military jury convicted an Army sergeant of premeditated murder and attempted murder on Thursday for killing two of his comrades and wounding 14 others in an attack on his own camp in Kuwait at the start of the Iraq war.
The sergeant, Hasan Akbar, 34, could be sentenced to death when the 15-member jury reconvenes on Monday.
Prosecutors said Sergeant Akbar, a Muslim, told investigators that he attacked the brigade command section of Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait, using stolen grenades and a rifle, because he was concerned that troops would kill Muslims in Iraq. They said he coolly carried out the attack on the 101st Airborne Division to achieve “maximum carnage.”
A traitor and a murderer- cases like this really test my opposition to the death penalty.
