Lawyer: Afghan killing suspect being flown U.S.

SEATTLE (AP) — The soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan villagers is expected to be flown to a U.S. military prison as early as today, a senior defense official said, as the soldier’s attorney spoke of the impact the fighting had on his client. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of security surrounding the move, said the soldier would go the facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the military’s only maximum-security prison.
