US soldiers urinating on dead Afghans, US soldiers posing with dead Afghans, and now the burning of Islam's holy book, the holy Qur'an at Bagram airbase.

Soldier accidentally shot rules inquest 22.05.12
A coroner has ruled that a young soldier was accidentally shot by a comrade while on active service in Afghanistan. Lance Corporal Michael Pritchard, 22, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen fired from a remote observation post, known as a sangar, by Lance Corporal Malcolm Graham, of The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion, who thought he was shooting at Taliban insurgents, an inquest at Eastbourne Town Hall was told. LCpl Pritchard, who was on secondment with 4th Battalion The Rifles, was deployed to the observation post N30 on 20th December 2009 to watch a blind spot on an access road, Route 611, in the Sangin area, central Helmand province, to make sure Taliban insurgents did not plant improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the road, the court was told. East Sussex Coroner Alan Craze said a number of factors including poor communication had played a part but that the basic reason for the tragedy was in fact the failure of the organisation which would have prevented blue on blue contact. Speaking outside court, LCpl Pritchard's father Gary said: "We hope and trust that the Army will take steps to ensure that this does not happen again." Mr Craze said that despite erroneous decisions being made LCpl Pritchard's death was an accident, albeit an avoidable one.

Nine Afghan police shot dead in sleep 30.03.12
Nine village police officers have been shot dead by a colleague in Yayakhil in the eastern Paktika province of Afghanistan today (Friday). He was assigned to a small command post where he was due to start guard duty at 3am but instead opened fire with his assault rifle, killing the men as they slept inside the post. Provincial police chief Dawlat Khan says the gunman then took their weapons and fled in a pickup truck. He said the victims included one of his brothers and the commander of the post, identified as Mohammad Ramazan. He says two of the dead were Ramazan's sons. The Taliban are being blamed for the shooting. Paktika is a stronghold of the Haqqani network - a Pakistani-based group with ties to the Taliban and al-Qaeda. It mostly attacks US-led coalition forces but also attacks the Afghan army and police.
