FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A military official who asked not to be named said the helmet and weapon
carried by one of the men seems to indicate the four could be members of an
elite sniper team.
The official also said such conduct would be punishable under the US code of
military justice.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a prominent
national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, condemned the
alleged desecration of corpses by US Marines.
“If verified as authentic, the video shows behaviour that is totally
unbecoming of American military personnel and that could ultimately endanger
other soldiers and civilians,” CAIR said in a statement.
“We trust that this disturbing incident will be promptly investigated in
a transparent manner and that appropriate actions will be taken based on the
results of that investigation,” the statement said.
“Any guilty parties must be punished to the full extent allowed by the
Uniform Code of Military Justice and by relevant American laws.”
A statement issued by the Pentagon said: “Headquarters Marine Corps has
recently been made aware of a video that portrays Marines urinating on what
appear to be deceased members of the Taliban.
“While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video,
the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not
indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps.
“This matter will be fully investigated.”
Some 20,000 Marines are deployed in Afghanistan, mostly in Kandahar and
Helmand provinces in the south of the war-ravaged country.
The US and Nato have some 130,000 troops fighting the Taliban insurgency in
Afghanistan.
US and coalition partners in Afghanistan plan to hand over security for the
whole of the country to Afghan forces by the end of 2014, allowing the
withdrawal of combat forces.
In April 2004, the prison at Abu Ghraib shot to international headlines and
became a potent negative symbol of the US occupation to many Iraqis after
evidence emerged of detainee abuse by US soldiers at the facility.
Eventually, 11 soldiers were convicted in connection to the abuse, and
received punishments ranging from an army discharge to 10 years in prison.
