The big "hoo haa" in Germany right now.

German soldiers have caused international outrage after posing with a human skull in Afghanistan.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has pledged that the troops would be punished for desecrating the dead.

The macabre pictures were printed by Germany's biggestselling daily newspaper, Bild, which said they showed German peacekeepers near Kabul.

The uniformed men are seen holding up the skull and posing with it on a military vehicle. Another is seen exposing himself next to the skull. Bild's headline declares: 'German soldiers desecrate a dead person.'
