On the same day Hassuon left the base without permission in the military vehicle, (he was armed IIRC,) in the near vicinity, a number of US defence personnel were killed in ambush, their bullet proof vests removed, their weapons taken. A photograph of their bodies was shown on Yahoo images (can't find it now) and it was so very obvious they never had a chance to defend themselves or trusted their attacker.
That's why I want to see him brough back to stand trial. He must be made to account for his movements before he escaped to Lebanon the first time. His story stinks to high heaven. I cannot get those four or five dead soldiers out of my mind.
Thanks for remembering that. If you search on keyword 'hassoun' here, you can find previously posted articles in this case, along with comments.
I signed up for google alerts on hassoun and this is the first article that came through in a few months. So far, only Lebanese press and a Salt Lake City TV station have covered this latest development.
Notice how NCIS has dropped the case and turned it back to the Marines.
Your post made me physically ill.
I had not connected those dots.
Let us know if you find out more.
