WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army staff sergeant accused of the massacre of 16 villagers in Afghanistan on Sunday was treated for traumatic brain injury after being in a vehicle that rolled over in Iraq in 2010, a U.S. official said on Monday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was premature to state whether there was any link between the 2010 injury and the Afghanistan incident.

Initial reports said that the soldier simply walked to the villages, which were located about 500 (546 yds) from the military base in Panjwai district.

But local journalists say that the villages of Najeeban and Alkozai are about 5-7km (3-4 miles) apart. This immediately raises questions about accounts which said he completed his deadly circuit on foot.....-bbc

A woman in one of the villages targeted by the soldier told the BBC she first heard helicopters at 02:00 and then gunfire. Others said helicopters and gunfire could be heard from midnight.

It is unclear if extra troops had been sent out after the attacks to apprehend the gunman....

another lie.

Talked to a guy today who has been to Afghanistan. He said no one leaves the compound/base alone.

Simple truth.

They can't even get the god damn map strait.

Somehow the witnesses got to the media/public before the USSA could get the story strait.

" Afghan President Hamid Karzai also left open the possibility of more than one shooter in a statement on Sunday. He initially spoke of a single US gunman, then referred to "American forces" entering houses. The statement quoted a 15-year-old survivor named Rafiullah, who was shot in the leg, as telling Karzai in a phone call that "soldiers" broke into his house, woke up his family and began shooting them.

"This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven," Karzai said.

Looks like they just shot two of his brothers that he sent to Panjawi...;}
