Editor's clarification (11/03/06): The investigation into the shooting death
of Spc. Alyssa Peterson found her suicide came soon after she was reassigned
for objecting to prisoner interrogation techniques but did not specifically
give a reason for her action.
A Flagstaff soldier who died in Iraq committed suicide after she refused to
participate in interrogation techniques being practiced by her U.S. Army
intelligence unit, according to a report about an Army investigation aired
by a Flagstaff radio station.
U.S. Army Spc. Alyssa R. Peterson, 27, died Sept. 15, 2003, in Tel Afar, an
Iraqi city of about 350,000 residents in the northern part of the country.
At the time, the U.S. Department of Defense listed her cause of death as a
"noncombat weapons discharge."
