US Soldier: Kill Teams Faked Combat Situations to Murder Afghan Civilians for Sport
Another disaster for America's military and foreign policy, pretty much comparable to the notorious incidents of torture and killing that took place in Abu Ghreib prison in Iraq emerge to the media this time from Afghanistan.
Not that this is an unprecedented confession of US soldiers to the deliberate killing of civilians, but it adds up to the list of ongoing crimes against humanity from the claimer of human rights defender, the US.
An American soldier has pleaded guilty to being part of a "kill team" who deliberately murdered Afghan civilians for sport last year.
Army Specialist Jeremy Morlock, 23, told a military court he had helped to kill three unarmed Afghans. "The plan was to kill people, sir," he told an army judge in Fort Lea, near Seattle, after his plea.
The case has caused outraged headlines around the world. In a series of videotaped confessions to investigators, some of which have been broadcast on American television, Morlock detailed how he and other members of his Stryker brigade set up and faked combat situations so that they could kill civilians who posed no threat to them. Four other soldiers are still to come to trial over the incidents.
This week the German magazine Der Spiegel published three pictures that showed American soldiers, including Morlock, posing with the corpse of a young Afghan boy as if it were a hunting trophy.
Some soldiers apparently kept body parts of their victims, including a skull, as souvenirs.
