"A U.S. soldier has been acquitted of three murder charges after investigations into the killings of three Iraqis earlier this year, the U.S. military said Saturday. A court-martial, however, did find Staff Sgt. Michael Hensley, a sniper from the 1st Battalion, 501st Airborne, guilty of wrongfully placing an AK-47 rifle beside the body of an Iraqi man. Hensley was one of three U.S. soldiers charged with the killings of three Iraqis in separate incidents during U.S. operations between April 14 and May 11 near the town of Iskandariya, 25 miles south of Baghdad."
