Steven D. Green is a former Private First Class and piece of shit in the United States Army who is charged with the murder of four Iraqi civilians while on active duty in Iraq, in the Mahmudiyah incident. Leave it to some 21-year old fuckwad to cause the most powerful nation on Earth to lose a war.
Events
Green was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Kentucky. According to a military spokesperson and a criminal complaint filed in connection with the charges, Green was honorably discharged from the military after only eleven months "due to a antisocial personality disorder but before the military was aware of the incident."
On June 30, 2006, Green was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He was detained without bond and ordered to be transferred to Louisville, Kentucky. On July 3, 2006, he was charged by United States Federal Court prosecutors with the rape and murder of a young woman named Abeer Qassim Hamza and the killing of her sister Hadeel, her father, Qassim Hamza Rasheed, and her mother, Fakhariya Taja Muhassain in Mahmoudiyah, Iraq, on March 12, 2006. Some confusion exists regarding how old Hamza was. Military officials give her age as 20, while the affidavit filed in the case describes her as a 25-year-old; however, an Iraqi official has said that she was 15 years old.
According to the affidavit, Green and three other soldiers planned the rape of Hamza and asked another soldier to monitor a radio while they went to the victims' house in Mahmudiyah. The affidavit states that Green ordered the father, mother and younger daughter into a bedroom. Shots were fired, after which Green emerged and reportedly said, "I just killed them, all are dead." Green and at least one other individual proceeded to sexually assault Abeer Qassim Hamza, after which Green fired two or three shots into her head, killing her. As many as five individuals, including Green, may have participated in the incident in some way.
Fakhariya Taja Muhassain was reportedly worried that her daughter had attracted the attention of U.S. soldiers at the checkpoint near their home. The mother asked her neighbor Omar Janabi if her daughter could sleep in his daughter's room, but the family was killed the next day.
Janabi, who claimed that he discovered the bodies, said that he found the husband, wife and younger daughter in one room shot to death. He found Abeer Qassim Hamza dead and partially unclothed in another room in which a fire had been set, burning her hair.
If convicted on these charges, Green could face the death penalty.
Retaliation
Green was assigned to the same platoon as Spc. David J. Babineau, who was shot to death at a roadside checkpoint on June 16, 2006, in Youssifiya, Iraq, and Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Lowell Tucker, who were captured, tortured and killed by insurgents. Military investigators are now looking into whether the insurgents abducted Menchaca and Tucker in retaliation for the killing of the Iraqi civilians.
