Army Sergeant Hasan Akbar Found Guilty

Army Sergeant Hasan Akbar was convicted Thursday by a military jury of premeditated murder and attempted murder in the grenade and rifle attack in which he killed two of his comrades and wounded 14 others in Kuwait during the opening days of the Iraq war.

Prosecutors said Akbar coolly carried out the attack to achieve "maximum carnage."

According to the Associated Press, Akbar faces a possible death penalty, which the 15-member jury will consider at a hearing that begins Monday.

May he never see the light of day again.
