周一,(美国)空军驳回了对一名美国飞行员的杀人和袭击指控,并称,因去年误炸了驻阿富汗的加拿大士兵,导致其中4人死亡,该飞行员将以玩忽职守罪而面临审判。如果被判有罪,37岁的哈利·史密特少校将面临6个月的监禁。军事法庭的审判日期并未当即确定。 玩忽职守的指控称,史密特“没有遵守适当的交战规定”,并且“在他的飞机上故意不执行相关的飞行纪律”。 2002年4月17日,史密特和他的同事国民警卫队飞行员威廉姆·乌姆巴克少校,从他们的F-16战机上对加拿大军队(驻阿)阵地发动攻击,他们称,他们认为自己正处在塔利班武装的攻击之下。 史密特一直坚持说,当他投下激光制导炸弹时,(美国)空军未给予任何警告,说明盟军可能正在进行实弹演习。(本栏目供稿:晓风) U.S.Pilot Faces Dereliction-of-Duty Charges The Air Force set aside manslaughter and assault charges againstaU.S.pilot Monday and said he will face tri-al on dereliction-of-dutycharges for mistakenly bombing Canadi-an soldiers in Afghanistan lastyear,killing four.Maj.Harry Schmidt,37,could get six months in prisonif convicted of the of-fense.A date for the court-mar-tial was not immediately set.
