FORT CARSON, COLO. (AP) -- The Army says it hasn't found any single factor linking a half-dozen Fort Carson Iraq war veterans who were suspected or convicted in homicides over the past year.
Army Secretary Peter Geren made the disclosure in a letter to Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo. Salazar released the letter Thursday.
Fort Carson officials say they're working with Army experts to determine if there are common factors in violence linked to soldiers that can be addressed to prevent future crimes.
The study includes a review of pre-enlistment background checks and mental-health screenings done before and after deployment to Iraq.
Geren also says he has asked top commanders to review the possibility of an Army-wide review of violence blamed on returning veterans
