US Marine Acquitted of All Charges in Haditha Killings: Military

A US Marine on trial for his role in the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha in Iraq in 2005 was on Wednesday acquitted of all charges, a military official said.

Lieutenant Andrew Grayson, 27, was declared "not guilty on all charges" by a jury, said a spokesman for Camp Pendleton, the military base 130 kilomters (80 miles) south of Los Angeles where the court martial began on May 28.

Grayson had been charged with obstruction of justice, making false statements and attempting to fraudulently separate from the Marine Corps.
