More details are emerging about the charges facing some Stryker soldiers at Joint Base Lewis Mcchord.
Charging documents released Wednesday allege soldiers took finger bones and other body parts cut from Afghan corpses, the Seattle Times reports.
The documents provide new public details of the cases against a dozen soldiers who served a year in southern Afghanistan with a Western Washington-based Stryker infantry brigade.
The most serious charges involve the alleged slayings of three Afghans in January, February and May. Five soldiers, all stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, are accused of involvement in one or more of the murders. They face penalties that range up to life imprisonment or death.
