US Troops Condemned For Posing With Afghan Body Parts
Last month, it was the massacre of civilians. Now, the United States military is being charged with new abuses in Afghanistan.
FOX News Radio’s Alastair Wanklyn reports:
Strong U.S. reaction to both the photos and the decision by the “Los Angeles Times” to publish them. The pictures, from 2010, show U.S. soldiers posing with the bodies of suicide bombers in Afghanistan.
Our Ambassador to Kabul, Ryan Crocker, says those soldiers have put their colleagues in greater danger. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the same about the “LA Times”, saying the pictures could be used to incite violence against U.S. and Afghan troops.
The “Times” says it’s the paper’s duty to report all aspects of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.
