Afghan Village Slaying by U S Soldier Sparks Wide Backlash

A U S Army sergeant killed and burned 16 villagers in Panjwai district near Kandahar amid Afghan outrage over Quran burnings and a prior desecration video. Officials say a single shooter acted alone, with Karzai and Obama pledging accountability. The incident raises tensions as NATO plans shift toward Afghan control by 2014.
