U.S. Soldier Kills 16 Afghan Civilians

A U.S. army sergeant invaded multiple houses, killing sleeping Afghan villagers and setting fire to their homes. 16 people were killed, 9 of them children. The man is in custody, but officials believe there may be others involved. As the tensions caused by the fatal Quran burning protests began to ease, this event has threatened U.S.-Afghan relations and has people questioning the presence of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
