It seems fairly certain, both for, I presume, humanitarian as well as political expediency, that this incident will recieve relatively speedy - and publicised ? - resolution.

That's an interesting one. India is currently in the process of trying two Italian soldiers in Indian courts. My guess is that being an occupied country, Afghanistan is not in position to enforce a trial in the country where the crime was committed.
