They are Cpl. Scott Evans, Pvt. William Nerney and Daniel Harding, now a civilian, plus four men still unidentified.
Lord Peter Goldsmith said the soldiers would face courts-martial in connection with the death of Nadhem Abdullah on May 11, 2003, in Uzayr in southern Iraq. He said the man died at a roadside, but gave no further details.
