US soldiers' 'entirely improper' driving of forklift truck crushed Captain Dean Sprouting
Captain Dean Sprouting
“At local level, it’s different."

at Oxford County Hall
A CORONER has ruled that a British army officer who was run over in broad daylight by US troops in Iraq was killed because US troops were driving a giant forklift truck in a manner that was “inherently unsafe” and “entirely improper.”
The two US soldiers involved in the death of Captain Dean Sprouting at Camp Havoc last January have snubbed the family and failed to attend his inquest at Oxford County Hall today.
After the inquest, his widow Linda said the US soldiers were “fully to blame” and “need to be accountable for their actions.”
