NEW YORK - The U.S. Army says eight American soldiers have been charged in connection with the Oct. 3 death of a fellow soldier in southern Afghanistan.

Pvt. Danny Chen, a 19-year-old from New York, was found in a guard tower in Kandahar province with what the Army described at the time as "an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Further details weren't immediately available. The Army announced in October that it was investigating Chen's death.
