The German magazine Der Spiegel has posted photos of U.S. troops in Afghanistan photographed with rural children killed. The magazine says it has another 4,000 similar images of Western intervention in the Central Asian country, so it is confirmed that there is an isolated case (besides the newspaper and also confirm the historical memory of interventions, humanitarian or not , the U.S. and its cronies in the world).
In some of the photos, the soldiers had also taken memories of his achievement by removing the teeth of corpses and other "trophies." Probably this is what awaits the Libyans if aerial intervention ends up, as expected, in an invasion.
In the pictures you see the corpse of the peasant Hjo Mudin Gul, was killed on January 15, 2010. The soldier who raises his head from the hair may be Jeremy Morlock and Andrew Holmes, of the "Team of Death" in Afghanistan, a group of 12 U.S. military will be tried on Wednesday 23 in Seattle, for the murder of civilians in Afghanistan.
Child Mudin Gul was the son of a farmer near Kandahar. The soldiers who killed him said they were threatened with a grenade (though certainly would be a spade or a hoe, or even a book). The British newspaper The Guardian reported that the military mutilated the fingers of their victims and extracting them his teeth as a trophy. Morlock negotiated testify against their partners and frame his superior, Sergeant Calvin Gibbs, responsible for the killings, to obtain a reduced sentence, perhaps 24 years in prison.
The newspaper El Mundo of Spain said that after taking the photo, the soldiers detonated a grenade on the body and sprayed the wreckage. A perverse ritual of "Team of Death." photos Der Spiegel bring to mind images from Abu Ghraib prison, Iraq, between 2003 and 2006 showed how the U.S. military, Blackwater mercenaries hired by the CIA and elements of tortured and humiliated prisoners, sadistically enjoyed and took snapshots. Also another of the "humanitarian" interventions of the UN in Somalia, the attitude of Israeli soldiers against Palestinians, or images common in countries where the army of the Yankees used the cruelty and torture as a weapon of war.
an attitude not uncommon in the history of U.S. military interventions (and their accomplices), which has left bad memories in all parts of the world where they have spent. Images reminiscent of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, starkly illustrated in the movie "Slaughter" Come! "Directed by Elem Klimov (and in fact the authors and their methods are almost the same) .
That the Libyans are prepared.
