BERLIN, Oct 28: A German newspaper on Saturday published more photographs showing soldiers posing with human skulls and bones in Afghanistan as pressure mounted on the government to find the culprits.
The defence ministry on Friday suspended two soldiers over a first set of photos published this week but Bild newspaper said the new pictures proved that German soldiers in Afghanistan regularly photographed skeletons and skulls.
In one of the new photos, a soldier is pointing a gun at a human skeleton, in another a beret has been perched on top of a skull.
The defence ministry has insisted that taking macabre photographs is not widespread.—AFP
