His background needs close scrutiny:The American soldier accused of killing 16 civilians in Afghanistan last weekend is Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, a US official said on Friday. Pictures allegedly of a staff sergeant of that name in Afghanistan are already being circulated, but no confirmation of the identity is yet available.

Hows the security affecting your family? Asked Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 1st platoon sergeant, Blackhorse Company, 2-3 Inf., to a village elder relaxing outside of his home. Much better than yesterday, replied the man. The Soldiers of Blackhorse Company successfully secured the village and built upon their new relationship with the Afghan people.
