A scandal over soldiers caught playing with human skulls has rattled the German military
German military officials said Friday that they had suspended two soldiers and were investigating several others suspected of desecrating skulls while serving in Afghanistan as part of a NATO-led force in 2003 and 2004.
Photos of troops mocking the freshly unearthed skulls -- including one of a uniformed soldier standing next to a human head with his genitals exposed -- have shocked many Germans since they were first published Wednesday in the tabloid newspaper Bild.
