Navy SEALs and Marines charged in death of Special Forces soldier

16 November 2018

The US Navy has charged four members of elite forces with murdering a US Army soldier in the west African country of Mali last year.

Officials say Army Staff Sergeant Logan J Melgar was strangled to death by two Navy SEALs and two Marines who later tried to conceal their crime.

They allegedly cut the victim's throat to appear as if they tried to perform a life-saving operation on him.

The charges do not name the accused men or provide a motive.
