The two commandos from a Coronado-based Sea, Air, Land unit known as SEAL Team-7 are accused of assaulting a detainee who died in the prison and of posing in photographs taken while the detainee was being subjected to degrading treatment. The charges include aggravated assault, maltreatment, dereliction of duty and disobeying orders. Neither SEAL is charged with murder. Five other SEALs were also implicated.
