wo British soldiers fighting in Afghanistan have been accused of raping two children aged ten in the war-ravaged country, a report has revealed.


UK officials said on Wednesday that they are investigating allegations of “inappropriate behavior” by the soldiers, The Sun reported.

According to the paper, the solders filmed raping a boy and a girl separately and showed the video to other servicemen who reported them.

"We take any such allegation extremely seriously," the British Ministry of Defense said. "It would be inappropriate to comment further while an investigation is ongoing."

Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office said the government is "immensely disgusted by the rise in recent incidents of immoral nature among foreign soldiers."

The Afghan government also called on Britain to investigate and punish anyone involved.

The incident comes one week after a video emerged showing US Marines urinating on dead Taliban fighters, that caused outrage across Afghanistan.

this is all that a war striken country needs. Raped children. Thanks alot.

Two British soldiers ‘abused kids aged ten’
PM's shock at 'child abuse'
By JOHN KAY and VIRGINIA WHEELER, Defence Editor
Published: Today
TWO British soldiers have been arrested over claims they abused Afghan children aged about ten.
The accused pair — a sergeant and a private in the Mercian Battle Group — allegedly encouraged a boy and a girl to touch them through their clothes.
They are said to have filmed the children doing it before showing the footage to other soldiers on laptops.
David Cameron was said to be "deeply shocked" last night over the claims.
The Prime Minister was informed of the allegations by defence chiefs.
They told him military police had arrested a sergeant and a private.
The fully-uniformed pair, both from the Mercian Battle Group currently deployed in Afghanistan, allegedly filmed the separate incidents before showing them to comrades on laptops.
They were held following complaints from other servicemen.
Allegations

Several laptops have been seized and their contents scoured by a team of military cops assigned to the inquiry.
It is the first time allegations of abusing children have been levelled against British troops in either Afghanistan or Iraq.
A source close to the probe said last night: "Nothing has been proved. What we have to establish is whether we are looking at sexual predatory behaviour or totally ill-judged larking about.
"Whatever the case, it is utterly inappropriate and terribly damaging to the British Army's reputation in Afghanistan." A senior defence source added: "We are determined to get to the bottom of this ASAP. Any criminal behaviour will be dealt with robustly and must not be allowed to undermine the excellent work our armed forces are doing in Afghanistan."
The allegations come days after the US military was rocked by video said to show Marines urinating on Taliban corpses.

Doesnt this explain enough why Afghans are fighting?

No dear, for pro war people its not enough. They want more such incidents.
Its the worst happening in Afghanistan.

this is the fault of the children for leading them on, the west never makes such mistakes. You guys are all terrorist sympathizers and backwards for not having the basic intellectual skills to draw such conclusions.

In waziristan this happened to the tribal elders kids also by the ISI, but us maseeds are clever enough to see through them.

these kids were obviously islamists acting as children and saw it as an oppurtunity to smear the good name of the civilised citizens of the UK.

We should condemn these children, they have been brainwashed.

i will demonstrate this in my next youtube video with 5 billion unrelated pictures floating in the background.

Watch this space!

Well educated, well organised, equipped with the latest technology, standing on high ethical and moral values LoOOOOl.

This is not surprising. On many internet forums you will see recruiting discussion for military services and you will notice that the people interested state one of their main reasons is to kill and pillage. These are those same people now making news. If you want to kill and rape with impunity join Western armed forces. These morally bankrupt people frankly don't care unless caught or embarrassed.

The Englishman will now make a video elaborating on how these Afghan children actually were hiding ISI agents inside them so they needed to be probed by the British pigs. In Pashto there is a word called dawoos. Dawoos people if witness their own mother is being raped will blame her for having a vigina. You see mother, if you didn't have a vigina, you couldn't be raped could you?

Bacha Bazi goes on in every corner of Afghanistan and nobody makes a big deal out of it. Those responsible as protocol would be punished through military courts, but what about all those Bacha Bazi Wurkibazun who show off little boys to friends all over Afghanistan in open.

Just my view on this issue.

make him stop please.
