SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Another three U.S. Marines will be tried on murder charges in the death of an Iraqi grandfather kidnapped from his house in Hamdania in the middle of the night, the U.S. Marine Corps said on Wednesday.

Lt. Gen. James Mattis, the top Marine general in the Middle East, said Lance Corporal Tyler Jackson, Lance Corporal Robert Pennington and Corporal Trent Thomas would face murder, kidnapping and other charges stemming from the April 2006 death of Hashim Ibrahim Awad.
