Apparently he left the base, started to shoot civilians indiscriminately and then returned to base and got arrested.

Estimates of civilian deaths go from 3 to 16.

More reasons for Afghanis to riot

KABUL (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier has been detained in Afghanistan for shooting and wounding several civilians in southern province Kandahar, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) coalition said on Sunday.

"It was a shooting incident involving multiple civilians wounded," said the spokesman, Captain Justin Brockhoff, adding that there were no initial reports of deaths in the attack which took place on Sunday.

Civilian casualties have been a major source of friction between President Hamid Karzai's government and U.S.-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.

I've been telling you guys for 2 full years we were losing. We lost in fall 2009 when they scrap the old plan.

How one soldier can go AWOL from a military base in full gear and rifle full of hard ammo without anyone noticing is beyond me.

Should have been out of that shithole 7 years ago. You keep people in a war zone for half their lives and some of them are going to crack.

It's over, done, let the Afghan people deal with their horrible country. They DID assist the bastards that attacked us, screw em.

One of those rare things on which Ptilk and I agree.
