Former SAS officer describes soldier's mental breakdown

The Afghan parliament has passed a resolution demanding that the American soldier who killed 16 civilians in Kandahar should be tried in an Afghan court.

Reports say the gunman, thought to have recently suffered a mental breakdown, was a 38 year-old staff sergeant on his first tour of duty in Afghanistan.
