The Naval Criminal Investigative Service said it has interviewed the four U.S. Marines seen urinating on Afghan corpses in a video that spread globally and complicated U.S. talks with the Taliban.

Responding to a case that drew international condemnation, NCIS opened its probe on Jan. 11, “immediately after learning of the video’s existence,” Maryann Cummings, a spokeswoman, said yesterday in a written statement.
