No medic on deadly Afghan patrol, court martial told
A Canadian officer accused of executing a severely wounded insurgent was on patrol mentoring Afghan soldiers who had no medic and no understanding of the laws of war, his court martial heard Thursday.
Capt. Robert Semrau, 36, has pleaded not guilty to four charges, including second degree murder, stemming from the October 2008 battlefield incident in Helmand Province.
The case, thought to be the first of its kind in Canada, is casting a spotlight on the training and conduct of the military in Canada's most deadly military conflict since the Korean War. -->-->-->
