LANSING, Kan. - US authorities lack proof of what occurred the night a US soldier is suspected of killing 16 villagers in Afghanistan, the lawyer representing the serviceman said on Tuesday.

"I'm very concerned now they don't have much proof of anything," attorney John Henry Browne told Reuters after meeting with US Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales on Tuesday for a second day in a military detention center in Kansas.

Browne said he has now spent 11 hours with Bales discussing the events of Sunday, March 11, when Bales allegedly walked off his base in southern Afghanistan and gunned down the 16 civilians, including nine children and three women, in a massacre that damaged US-Afghan relations.

Bales, 38, a four-tour combat veteran, has not yet been charged, but an official from his home base near Tacoma, Washington, has said that charges would likely be filed by the end of this week.
