It's just been announced on Tele 5 that a Magistrate has issued a search & capture order against the three US soldiers responsible for the death of Jose Couso.<br>Couso was a cameraman staying at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad.<br>An Abrams opened fire on a hotel full of journalists. It killed two and injured others.<br><br>If they leave the US they will be arrested and delivered to Madrid. <br>Legal rendition. <p></p><i></i>
