KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Getting word now that some U.S. soldiers have been charged in the deaths of three detainees. Let's get straight to Barbara Starr at the Pentagon. And Barbara, this is all just coming in to both of us. This is separate, though, from Haditha and Hamandiya, right, the other two investigations we've been following?</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN ANCHOR: Absolutely, Kyra. This is a completely separate incident. The U.S. military now reporting that three members of the 101st Airborne Division are being charged with the following. They are being charged with murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, communicating a threat and obstructing justice in connection with the death of three male detainees in Iraq, in southern Iraq, on May 9th. The only details we have are the location, southern Salaheddin Province. What we are told by the military is now these three non- commissioned officer and two soldiers being charged with murder, attempted murder and the other counts. A criminal investigative command investigation was initiated back on May 17th. The incident happened on May 9th, and the unit commander had immediately ordered an inquiry at that time. We are told the soldiers remain in pre-trial confinement, awaiting a hearing to determine if there will be a court's marshal against them. We do not know if they are being held in Iraq or back here in the United States. Again, three members of the 101st Airborne Division being charged with murder and attempted murder in relation to the deaths of three male detainees in Iraq back in May -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Barbara Starr, I know you'll let us know as you get more information. Thank you.
