Families killed by Sergeant Bales Afghans received compensation

Members of the Afghans families, who are supposed to be killed and wounded by American sergeant Robert Bales, received financial compensation. Afghan officials and elders reported that for every person who was killed on March 11 in the Panjvy region of the province of Kandahar, 46 thousand dollars were paid, and for each wounded - 10 thousand dollars, reports the Air Force .

It is not yet known who paid this compensation, but it is reported that members of the families of victims and dead recently held a private meeting with the American military and international coalition forces in the office of Governor Kandagar. With some witnesses, they agreed to give testimony at the Bales process.

On Friday, 38-year-old Bales was charged with the murder of 17 peaceful Afghans, including nine children. According to Afghan sources, 16 people were killed. 12 - in the village of Balandi, and another four in Alcosai. The American military does not explain what caused various estimates of the number of victims.

Now Biles is in a military prison in Kansas, it is contained in a solitary chamber. The lawyer of the American sergeant denies the statement that on the night when the murders were committed, his client was drunk.
