quote[Federal prosecutors filed notice Tuesday that they will seek the death penalty if former soldier Steven D. Green is convicted of killing an Iraqi family and raping a 14-year-old girl.
The notice, filed in U.S. District Court, cites 12 alleged offenses related to the slayings, including that the deaths were premeditated, involved sexual abuse and were committed with a firearm.
Green, a former 101st Airborne Division soldier, was indicted Nov. 1 in the rape and murder of the girl and the slayings of three others in her family in March 2006.
"The defense is obviously disappointed that Attorney General (Alberto) Gonzales is seeking to execute a former soldier," Green's public defender, Patrick Bouldin, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.]
