Multi-National Force-Iraq
CAMP FALLUJAH , Iraq -- Multi-National Force-West has been made aware of allegations that Coalition Forces caused the death of Mohammed Al-Sumaida'ie in his home near Haditha on June 25, 2005.
The events described in the allegations roughly correspond to an incident involving Coalition Forces on that day in that general location; therefore a military inquiry has been initiated to review the circumstances and the facts surrounding the incident.
“We take these allegations seriously and will thoroughly investigate this incident to determine what happened,” said Maj. Gen. Stephen T. Johnson, commanding general of Multi-National Force – West.
Further information will be provided once the investigation has been completed, a process that could take up to several weeks.
