French troops killed over US Marine abuse video

Herald Sun January 23, 2012 11:05AM

Security sources say the Afghan soldier who shot dead four French troops says he did it because of a recent video showing US Marines urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban insurgents.

The attack on the unarmed soldiers on Friday at a base in eastern Afghanistan also wounded 15 French troops, eight of them seriously.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reacted angrily, threatening to pull his forces out of Afghanistan ahead of the 2014 deadline for all US-led coalition combat troops, and dispatched Defence Minister Gerard Longuet to Kabul.
