FORT CARSON, Colo. — 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.

Salazar asked for the review in October after a soldier was arrested on suspicion of raping and killing a 19-year-old woman in Colorado Springs, adjacent to Fort Carson.

Other soldiers in the same unit, the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division, were charged in the deaths of two soldiers last year and in the deaths of a Colorado Springs couple placing garage-sale signs in their neighborhood this year.

The brigade returned from Iraq in 2007 after 15 months of fighting in Baghdad.
