Pics of Marines Burning Bodies Trigger U.S. Military Investigation http://www.tmz.com/2014/01/15/iraq-soldier-bodies-on-fire-marin
The United States military is conducting a formal investigation into
American soldiers burning the dead bodies of what appear to be Iraqi
insurgents.
TMZ obtained 41 pictures that we're told were shot in Fallujah in 2004. Two
pictures show a Marine appearing to pour gasoline or some other flammable
on the remains of what officials believe are 2 insurgents. Two other photos
show the bodies on fire. You then see charred remains.
Another photo shows a Marine crouched down next to a dead body and mugging
for the camera.
Still another pic shows a Marine rifling through the pocket of the pants on
a corpse.
We have not included all of the photos. Many are just too gruesome. There
are well over a dozen bodies in the pics and some are covered with flies and
one is being eaten by a dog.
We turned them all over to the Pentagon last week, and a Pentagon official
tells us the pics have triggered a Marine Corps investigation.
We're told U.S. Central Command -- the organization in charge of military
operations in the Middle East -- also reviewed the photos to determine if
they had been previously brought to their attention and determined they had
not.
