Soldiers 'were mutilated by mob' after firefight The Times ^ \| july 11, 2006 \| By Tim Albone timesonline.co.uk AFGHAN soldiers serving with coalition forces were mutilated and killed by a mob that included women and children, a British officer said yesterday. Major Dougie Mckay, second-in-command of 7 Para Royal Horse Artillery, said that the men were killed near a British base along with two French soldiers. The incident had horrifying parallels with Rudyard Kipling’s poem The Young British Soldier, written more than a century ago. The mutilated soldiers were among Afghan forces escorting a French unit a few miles from the British base at Tangye. One French vehicle took a wrong turn and came into “heavy combat” with Taleban fighters. Two French special forces soldiers and 14 Afghan escorts were killed. Major Mckay is part of the Operation, Mentoring and Liaison Team (OMLT) training Afghan troops. He said: “Whether they were killed by rocket-propelled grenades or small-arms fire before or after they were mutilated we may never find out. They were very badly mutilated. They had their ears, noses and genitals cut off. Women and, allegedly, children were taking part.”
