FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Another soldier apparently placed an unofficial platoon patch reading “Zombie Hunter” next to the other remains and took a picture.
The LA Times said the military had asked it not to publish the photos for fear of inciting violence, but editor Davan Maharaj said that the newspaper had decided to publish a “small but representative selection”.
“After careful consideration, we decided that publishing a small but representative selection of the photos would fulfil our obligation to readers to report vigorously and impartially on all aspects of the American mission in Afghanistan,” he was quoted as saying.
As of early Wednesday, however, the photos had not yet appeared on the newspaper’s website.
The photos come after a series of scandals that has strained US-Afghan ties.
In March a US soldier allegedly went on a shooting rampage in two Afghan villages, killing 17 people – mostly women and children – in what is believed to be the deadliest war crime by a Nato soldier in the decade-long conflict.
The burning of Korans in mid-February triggered deadly anti-US protests, and there has been a surge in “insider” attacks on Nato troops by Afghan forces.
Nato has a 130,000-strong US-led military force fighting the Islamist Taliban, which has led an insurgency against the Western-backed Kabul government since being toppled from power in 2001.
The United States plans to gradually draw down combat troops from the middle of next year before handing over control to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014 as agreed by the Nato alliance.
