PRIVATE MENCHACA COMES HOME
Brownsville grieves.
More details about the murders of Menchaca and Pvt. Thomas Tucker:
The U.S. military now says explosives experts had to dismantle three roadside bombs to reach the brutalized bodies of two missing U.S. soldiers.
In a statement, the military says the remains were found tied together with a bomb between one soldier’s legs.
A U.S. military official said last week that one and possibly both young men were tortured and beheaded.
Maj. Gen. James Thurman, commander of the Fort Hood-based 4th Infantry Division, has ordered a formal investigation to determine the facts of the June 16 attack.
According to the military statement, the bodies of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca of Houston and Pfc. Thomas Tucker of Oregon were found the evening of June 19.
The military says the bodies were found near where the men had been abducted when insurgents attacked their checkpoint.
Pvt. Tucker will arrive home on Monday.
Jim Hoft is still waiting for Bush to say something.
