MADRID, Spain (CNN) — A Spanish court on Tuesday overturned last year’s indictment of three U.S. soldiers in connection with the death of a Spanish TV cameraman in Iraq in 2003, according to a copy of the court order viewed by CNN.In a 2-1 decision, the National Court’s second penal section ruled that “the evidence introduced is not sufficient to indict” the three U.S. soldiers, identified as officers Philip de Camp and Phillip Wolford, and Thomas Gibson, a sergeant. In April 2007, National Court investigating magistrate Santiago Pedraz indicted the three U.S. soldiers, saying they were linked to the U.S. tank fire directed against the Palestine Hotel in 2003, where Spanish cameraman Jose Couso was videotaping the U.S. assault on Baghdad. Couso died from his wounds soon after. –From CNN Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman |
