US soldiers 'killed Afghan civilians for sport and collected fingers as trophies' according to a report that accuses twelve soldiers of participating in this act.

US soldiers 'killed Afghan civilians for sport and collected fingers as trophies' according to a report that accuses twelve soldiers of participating in this act.
