A federal grand jury has indicted former Marine Sgt. Jose Luis Nazario on two charges of voluntary manslaughter for allegedly killing Iraqi prisoners during the battle in Fallouja in November 2004, officials said Wednesday.
The indictment supersedes a charge already filed against Nazario. The Marine Corps has filed an unpremeditated-murder charge against Sgt. Jermaine Nelson in the same incident.
A top Marine official said that the investigation has been completed and charges against more Marines are being considered.
