Zardana said her visiting cousin saw the soldier chasing them and ran to help, but he was shot and killed. "We couldn't stop. We just wanted somewhere to hide. I was holding on to my grandmother and we

ran to our neighbors." Family members explained that Zardana was also shot in the head. She spent about two months recovering at the Kandahar Air Base hospital and three more at a naval hospital in San Diego receiving rehabilitation

therapy, accompanied by her father, Samiullah. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales of Lake Tapps, Washington, plead guilty to seventeen counts of murder and six counts of assault and attempted murder in the massacre. His guilty plea earned him a

life sentence, avoiding the death penalty. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus)

Fazel Rahman, one of four child bombers who were arrested before staging a suicide attack, reacts in a classroom at the Kabul Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in Kabul, on May 14, 2011. The orders from their religious teacher were clear-cut: Go to Afghanistan, strap on a suicide vest and kill foreign forces. With that, 14-year-old Ghulam Farooq left his home in Pakistan with three other would-be boy bombers and headed into eastern Afghanistan. They were told there would be two members of the Taliban waiting for them at the Torkham border crossing in Nangarhar province. Instead, members of the Afghan intelligence service, who had been tipped to the boys' plans, arrested them at the border. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
