MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A Spanish judge issued an international arrest warrant Wednesday for three U.S. soldiers, charging them with murder in the death of Spanish TV cameraman Jose Couso in Baghdad, Iraq.
Couso, who worked for Spain's Telecinco network, died at the Palestine Hotel on April 8, 2003, as U.S. forces advanced to take control of the city in April 2003.
Investigating magistrate Santiago Pedraz of the National Court will seek the extradition of the soldiers to Spain, a court spokeswoman told CNN.
They are wanted for "murder" and "a crime against the international community," according to the warrant, a copy of which was viewed by CNN partner network CNN+.

Me, I'm not a "nice guy",..I don't give a rat's you know what if all the "journalists" in Iraq and other places, drop dead or get killed tomorrow.
I don't believe any of them. I think they're pretty much all commie, America hating lefties anyway.
They might have more leverage if they hadn't already fled from Iraq.
I think the soldiers should have shot the building a few more times. The journalists are lucky the troops are honorable men.
Well, if the soldiers stay in Iraq, the Spainioweenies can't get him for sure.

Of course, I seem to recall the last time we mixed it up with the Spanish, we kicked their asses.....
Now, who would have thought that Americans, and especially the military, would be the targets of the ICC.
"A Spanish judge issued an international arrest warrant Wednesday for two U.S. soldiers...."
Hey judge, take that warrant and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Any idiot can issue an arrest warrent. Who will enforce it with a nation of gun owners? I'll defnd our guys with my private arsenal and out of my group of friends, I have only a "few" weapons.
"I think they're pretty much all commie, America hating lefties anyway"
Yeah, why not? All our journalists are.
