Taleban condemn US soldiers posing with militants' remains

Afghanistan's Taleban on Thursday condemned photographs of US soldiers posing with the remains of their militants, calling the two-year-old photos 'inhuman' and vowing revenge.

The pictures, which date back to 2010 but were published by the LA Times on Wednesday, add to a string of recent scandals that have ignited anti-Western feeling and complicated Nato-US efforts to build towards a 2014 withdrawal.

The Taleban 'strongly condemns the brutal and inhuman act by the American invading force and their uncultured slaves,' a statement from the militants said. In some of the pictures Afghan police are also seen posing with mangled remains of the Taleban bombers with their US allies.

'This is what the invading Americans teach to their Afghan slaves,' the statement said, referring to the members of the Afghan security forces trained and funded by the US-led troops.
