The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John F. Campbell, said Wednesday that several service members had been suspended from duty after an internal military investigation of the U.S.

An Afghan judge Wednesday sentenced four men to death for the mob killing of a woman who had been falsely accused of burning a Quran, but he also released many of the 49 defendants in the case and delayed verdicts for 19 police officers who had been charged.
