Canadian Due in Court Over Killings of Five US Soldiers

jerry2313/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — The accused killer of five U.S. soldiers has arrived in New York to face federal terror charges.
In April 2009, five U.S. soldiers were killed when a truck bomb exploded at the gate of Forward Operating Base Marez in Mosul, Iraq.
Federal prosecutors said Faruq Khalil Muhammed Isa helped orchestrate that attack through a group of Tunisian jihadists.
He was arrest four years ago in Canada and has now been extradited to the U.S.
His initial appearance is scheduled for Saturday in Brooklyn, and is the start of what the FBI called an effort to “bring some measure of justice to the families of those five servicemen” killed.
