MONDAY'S NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS
From USA Today: Akbar Court Martial Begins ("The court martial of Sgt. Hasan Akbar opens today at Fort Bragg, N.C., on charges that he launched the March 2003 grenade attack that killed two officers at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait during the early days of the Iraq invasion. Akbar, 33, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. He is the first soldier to stand trial for killing another soldier in wartime since the Vietnam era. Army Capt. Christopher Seifert, 27, and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone, 40, died in the attack; 14 soldiers were injured. Akbar could get the death penalty.").
