A video has been released by SBS Australia, that shows American gunmen in Afghanistan, burning two corpses of Taliban suspects. It's unclear how they died, but the Americans desecrated their bodies in an attempt to goad their comrades from a nearby village. Using a loud speaker, they shouted at the villagers, that they were "dogs" "cowards" and "ladyboys" for not coming to collect the body. (No doubt those who did, would've been shot)
It is Muslim tradition to wash a corpse, wrap in white cloth, and bury within one day The soldiers shouted, "we have faced them West(opposite to Mecca) and burnt their bodies. "
As usual the Americans lied and said the bodies were burnt for sanitary reasons, , yet claimed they were "investigating", when showed the video and translation of it's megaphone diplomacy. This act, coming on the heel of riots in Afghanistan after Newsweeks reports of Koran desecration, is likely to inflame opinion in the region.
The video can be seen on CNN, and BBC.
