FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) - A military intelligence soldier pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he abused detainees in Afghanistan, and he asked to be tried by a military jury.
Army Pfc. Damien M. Corsetti, of the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Bragg, N.C., is accused of hitting and sitting on detainees and threatening to sexually assault them.
His civilian lawyer, William E. Cassara, said the charges against Corsetti hinge on the word of an accused terrorist, Ahmed al-Darbi, who is being held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
