FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Pentagon spokesman George Little on Monday rejected calls for the prosecutions of the American soldier “before the people of Afghanistan.”
Little said that investigations and the prosecutions of US service members were governed by “agreements in place with the government of Afghanistan.”
“The United States military has very strong means to address wrongdoing,” he added.
Earlier, Afghan lawmakers called for the public trial of the American troops involved in the recent massacre of 17 civilians, including women and children.
“We seriously demand and expect that the government of the United States punish the culprits and try them in a public trial before the people of Afghanistan,” the lawmakers said in a Monday statement.
On Sunday, a US soldier opened fire on Afghan civilians inside their homes, killing at least 17 and injuring several others in the district of Panjwaii in southern Kandahar Province.
In November 2005, a massacre in the Iraqi town of Haditha by US soldiers left 24 civilians dead. Later, US military trials cleared seven of the accused soldiers and sentenced an eighth soldier to 90 days in prison but not required to serve any time.
Last year, Washington decided to pull out all its troops from Iraq, after Baghdad refused to agree to give US military personnel immunity from prosecution by Iraqi courts.
