US marine on murder charge 'assaulted another Iraqi'

A US Marine charged with kidnapping and murdering an Iraqi man last spring assaulted another man in a separate incident because he made ”disparaging remarks” about Marines while in Abu Ghraib prison, a court has heard.

The comment was the first public glimpse into an alleged April 10 incident uncovered during the investigation into the death of 52-year-old Hashim Ibrahim Awad on April 26.
