Prosecutors in the US state of Maryland have filed murder charges against the two Washington sniper suspects. John Allen Mohammad and his teenage accomplice, John Lee Malvo, have each been charged with six murders. Officials say they intend to seek the death penalty. Ten people were killed by sniper fire in the Washington area over a three-week period, and federal and state authorities in Maryland and Virginia, as well as in Washington DC itself, had been wrangling over which had the strongest evidence to lay charges. The southern state of Alabama has also filed murder charges against the two men over the killing of a woman during a robbery last month in the city of Montgomery.
