US Marines identify two soldiers urinating on dead Afghan bodies
U.S. officials spoke out against the footage yesterday and said they have identified at least two of the four Marines in the video
A video posted online claims to show four Marines urinating on dead bodies
News of the footage had yet to reach the streets of Kabul today, but Afghans who were told about what the tape appears to show were horrified.
Sayed Abdul Samad, an elderly man said: 'According to Islam and international law it's against humanity and it's illegal.'
Feda Mohammad, a middle-aged man said: 'They've committed a crime. We don't want them in our country. We don't like foreigners in our country and they have to leave.'
A top military psychologist has suggested that the reason American soldiers urinated on dead Afghan bodies was because they were 'stressed'.
The four were members of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The official said that some of the four are no longer in that battalion.
The 40-second clip, which has been described a 'recruitment tool for the Taliban', shows four men in combat gear standing over the three corpses with their genitals exposed as they relieve themselves.
