‘Multiple’ failures led to Iraq electrocution, Pentagon says
A Green Beret sergeant was electrocuted in Iraq in 2008 because of failures by the U.S. military and a major defense contractor, which did not properly ground and inspect electrical equipment, according to a Pentagon report out Monday.

Nine of 18 electrocution deaths reported in Iraq were caused by "improper grounding or faulty equipment," including the January 2008 death of Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, the Defense Department’s inspector-general found.
Investigations remain open in five of those cases, according to a summary of the report obtained by CNN.
