VOICED: Afganistan: masacre agudiza tensiones

A US soldier's massacre of 16 Afghan civilians has sparked a crisis between Washington and Kabul. The Taliban vowed revenge, and the Afghan parliament demanded the soldier be tried publicly in Afghanistan. Afghans expressed anger, citing cultural and religious damage caused by the US. They demand the soldier be punished under Afghan law. This incident complicates ongoing negotiations for a long-term strategic partnership, which aims to define US presence in Afghanistan post-2014, when NATO plans to withdraw combat troops.
