2 British soldiers convicted of abusing Afghans

None

A British soldier has been fined and an officer demoted after admitting abusing civilians in Afghanistan.

 

A 22-year-old serviceman who has since left the army admitted two charges of breaching service

discipline during a 2011-12 tour. In one incident he pulled the hand of an Afghan child toward his crotch while saying "touch my special place." In another he verbally abused an Afghan boy. (AP)
