US soldier charged over Afghan killings



The killings are believed to be the deadliest war crime by a NATO soldier.

The US soldier accused of an Afghan village massacre that further strained already-frayed Afghan-US ties was charged with 17 premeditated murders Friday, although he may not be tried for two years. 
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, was also accused of six counts of assault and attempted murder in the Panjwai district of Kandahar province earlier this month.
