Army unit tied to Abu Ghraib interrogations and two Afghan deaths
Fort Bragg based Company A of the 519th Military Intelligence faced an inquiry over its role in two 2002 Bagram inmate deaths. The unit operated in Afghanistan in 2002 and Iraq in 2003, with Capt. Carolyn A. Wood named as interrogations officer during both deployments. Buckner said Wood did not face accusations but that her Iraq rules of engagement differed from Afghanistan. The unit returned to Fort Bragg in January 2003 and deployed again to Iraq in March before leaving Kuwait in January.
