Yes, the family is claiming a cover up.

The military is saying its not true.

Quote:The shattered family of a Long Island Marine murdered by an Afghan rebel on an American military base in 2012 is suing the corps and top brass for allegedly covering up details of the incident, The Post has learned.


Relatives of Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr., 21, of Oceanside, say his killer served as a “tea boy” for an infamous Afghan police chief who was allowed to operate out of the Helmand province compound despite his perverse reputation, according to the Brooklyn federal suit filed Wednesday.

Ainuddin Khudairaham walked into a gym on the base and shot dead Buckley, Cpl. Richard Rivera and Staff Sgt. Scott Dickinson. He proclaimed himself a jihadist before being arrested.

Khudairaham was employed on the base by Sarwar Jan, a notorious Afghan police chief with a taste for young boys, drug dealing, and trading arms with the Taliban, the suit states.

He had already been ejected from another village for his unsavory activities and the US military compiled a dossier of his ugly exploits long before he arrived at Buckley’s base, court papers state.

Marine bosses “should never have allowed Jan or the murderer to enter, let alone operate out of” the compound, according to the complaint.

Buckley’s family claims they were purposefully kept in the dark about Khudairaham’s Afghan trial — and were crushed to learn that the triple murderer was tried as a juvenile and sentenced to a mere seven years in prison.

Buckley’s father, Greg Buckley Sr., and his aunt, Mary Liz Grosseto, say that they repeatedly demanded answers about the killing from the Marine Corps but were ignored. They are suing for access to that information.

Quote:The Marine Corps disputes this, providing a statement to The Washington Times detailing security at Delhi and the amount of communications it has maintained with the three families.


“Our approach to supporting the families of our fallen Marines is based on our unwavering commitment to loyalty,” the statement said.
The murders at the Helmand Province FOB came amid a wave of insider, or “green on blue,” attacks carried out by Afghan security personnel working closely with the Americans. Also shot and killed in the gym were Cpl. Richard A. Rivera Jr. and Staff Sgt. Scott E. Dickinson. A fourth Marinetook a number of rounds and was nearly killed.
