'Death To America!' Afghan Protesters Burn Obama Effigies As Anger Over U.S. Soldier Who Killed 16 Civilians Rises -- Daily Mail
* Leon Panetta: 'Death penalty for rogue soldier is an option'
* Father-of-two soldier 'could have come under 'intense and blind fury'
* Had previously suffered traumatic brain injury but was cleared for service
* Witness, 26, watched 'soldier take up position and shoot his father'
* Taliban vows to avenge deaths, saying more than one soldier involved
* Militants open fire on delegation, including Karzai's brothers, who had been attending memorial service in one of the villages
Students burned effigies of Barack Obama and chanted 'death to America' in eastern Afghanistan today - as anger towards the U.S. soldier who massacred 16 civilians on Sunday continued to rise.
Taliban militants also opened fire on a delegation of senior Afghan officials - including two of President Hamid Karzai's brothers - who were visiting the southern villages he targeted.
The attack raised worries of a repeat of the wave of violent demonstrations that rocked the nation after last month's burning of Korans by troops at a U.S. base.
It came as it was revealed the 38-year-old father-of-two soldier may have come under an intense and blind fury that led him to indiscriminately kill after suffering a traumatic brain injury.
