WASHINGTON -- Military investigators suspect that the American soldier charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and other charges in connection with the attacks against Afghan civilians this month committed the shootings during two separate operations, a United States official said Saturday. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation, said that the investigators believed that the soldier, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, left his Afghanistan base and carried out the first set of killings, returned to the combat outpost and then, sometime later that evening, went out and attacked a second village.

WASHINGTON -- The United States military has decided that no service members will face disciplinary charges for their involvement in a NATO airstrike in November that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, an accident that plunged relations between the two countries to new depths and has greatly complicated the allied mission in Afghanistan. An American investigation in December found fault with both American and Pakistani troops for the deadly exchange of fire, but noted that the Pakistanis fired first from two border posts that were not on coalition maps, and that they kept firing even after the Americans tried to warn them that they were shooting at allied troops. Pakistan has rejected these conclusions and ascribed most of the blame to the American forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A former soldier was sentenced late Monday to 6060 years in prison for his role in the 1982 massacre of 201 Mayan peasants in the village of Dos Erres during Guatemala's civil war. Pedro Pimentel Rios, part of a group of 17 soldiers accused of the killings, was ordered to serve 30 years for each killing and an additional 30 years for crimes against humanity.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Afghan defense officials are impeding an investigation into accusations that members of their air force are smuggling opium and weapons and that an Afghan officer who shot and killed eight American service members last year may have been involved in the suspected trafficking, two American officials said. The accusations first surfaced in 2010 when some Afghan Air Force personnel voiced suspicions to American officers that smuggling was occurring on the military side of Kabul's airport. But the two American officials, who have knowledge of the investigation, say the inquiry by the American-led coalition has made scant progress in large part because top Afghan generals and Defense Ministry officials have provided only minimal cooperation, a fact that has deepened American suspicions.

A federal appeals court on Monday ordered a new trial for an Ivy League-educated scientist, tossing out his conviction for violating the Iran trade embargo and finding he deserves a second chance to show he was not part of an unlicensed money transfer business. The ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in Manhattan, came too late to spare the scientist, Mahmoud Reza Banki, from serving most of a two-and-a-half-year sentence imposed for his conviction in June 2010. The court upheld two false-statement charges against Mr. Banki, but the charges most likely would have brought a sentence of less than six months in prison. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Responding for the first time to accusations of fraud, the Olympus Corporation said that acquisition fees paid to unidentified advisers amounting to 30 billion yen ($391 million) were not excessive and followed ''appropriate'' accounting procedures.
