"Alaa "Alex" Mohammad Ali, who holds dual Iraqi-Canadian citizenship, is the first person facing criminal charges since Congress in 2006 gave the military authority to prosecute crimes committed by civilians working for the armed forces, a U.S. statement said.
Ali, a U.S. Army translator, is accused of stabbing another contractor during a fight on Feb. 23 at a base near Hit, a town 85 miles west of Baghdad in Anbar province, the statement said. The victim was wounded in the chest and sternum."
