US soldier accused over Afghan rampage named
He was named by a senior US official who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the investigation into the incident on Sunday that has rocked relations with Afghanistan.
Officials had said previously that the suspect was a 38-year-old staff sergeant and that he had spent 11 years in the US Army. But they had refused to release his name, saying it was military policy to identify a suspect only after he had been charged with an offence.
