In other news from Germany, the military is reeling from the publication of photographs showing German soldiers in mocking and sexually explicit poses in front of human remains in Afghanistan. The images were published Wednesday on the front page of the German newspaper Bild. One photograph shows a soldier holding a human skull next to his exposed penis. The publication comes as the German military is also facing allegations members of a special forces unit assaulted a German prisoner while he was being held by US troops in Afghanistan. The prisoner, Murat Kurnaz, was released from Guantanamo last month.
