A CID investigation into the deaths of Ismael Hammed Abid, Mahmood Ismaeel Mousa, Khaleed Yassen Hamed, Hauthaifah Nazar Tawfeeek, all detainees at Camp Bucca. Their deaths were the result of a riot during which two soldiers "fired a total of eight lethal rounds at detainees." Mr. Abid, Mr. Mousa, Mr. Hamed, and Mr. Tawfeeek died of their gunshot wounds; the cause of death listed as "Justifiable Homicide." The eight shots also resulted in injuries to at least three unnamed detainees. Five unnamed detainees are listed in the report as victims of "Aggravated Assault (Unfounded)." The investigation found that the two soldiers who fired the lethal rounds were "justified in their use of lethal force during the riot," and that "the use of deadly force was consistent with applicable regulations and policies." The report states that "no personnel involved in controlling the riot ... violated criminal statutes."
