The war crimes investigation is the most serious the US army has faced in Afghanistan during its nine-year presence.
Soldiers who served with Sgt Gibbs in Afghanistan allegedly told investigators he pressed his comrades to cut fingers off Afghan corpses, and kept at least two fingers wrapped in cloth hidden in an empty water bottle.Some allegedly claimed he planned to intimidate other members of his unit to keep quiet, and one soldier said Sgt Gibbs claimed he planned to make a necklace with the fingers.
America apologized for infecting prisoners in Guatamala with injections of venereal diseases decades ago.
