Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki says his government must be involved in the investigation into the alleged rape and murder of an Iraqi teenage girl and three members of her family at the hands of U.S. forces.

Al-Maliki also said during a visit to Kuwait Wednesday, that his government will reconsider the immunity from Iraqi prosecution that had been granted to members of coalition forces, saying it has encouraged them to commit such crimes in "cold blood."

Steven Green, a 21-year-old former U.S. Army soldier, was charged in the case Monday in a U.S. federal court in the southern U.S. state of North Carolina. Other soldiers are under U.S. investigation.

In the Iraqi insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, meanwhile, U.S. and Iraqi forces raided a hospital Wednesday they said has been used by insurgents as a safe haven to launch mortar and sniper attacks.

The U.S. commander in Ramadi says the hospital has also been "the scene of murders and intimidation against the people of Ramadi by terrorists." Ramadi is west of Baghdad.

Elsewhere, a suicide car bomber attacked a police checkpoint in Mosul, killing a policeman and a civilian. And a roadside bomb killed one person near Kirkuk.
