On March 12th 2006, five U.S. Army soldiers of the 502nd Infantry Regiment, SGT Paul E. Cortez, SPC James P. Barker, PFC Jesse V. Spielman, PFC Brian L. Howard and PFC Steven D. Green left their checkpoint for the Janabi farmhouse to the southwest of the village of Yusufiyya, in the town of Mahmudiyah, Iraq.
As Howard acted as a lookout, the other four entered the family home. This was subsequent to a plan devised by the assailants of raping a ‘Hajji’ girl. After noon that day, the soldiers entered the home where Barker, Cortez and Green took turns to rape Abeer. The remaining members of the family were shot dead. The men then shot dead Abeer, set her body on fire and left the house.
Green, also an ex-drone operator, stated that he raped the 14-year old Abeer and killed her alongside her family because ‘he didn’t view Iraqis as human.’
