Afghans outraged at image of Australian soldier drinking from prosthetic leg

Limb thought to come from dead Taliban fighter as case adds to disgust over recent report detailing ADF abuse

Afghan civil society leaders have reacted with disgust to photographs of an Australian special forces soldier drinking alcohol from the prosthetic leg of a slain Taliban fighter.

Images published by the Guardian on Tuesday showed a senior soldier who is still enlisted in the Australian Defence Force drinking beer from the leg in an unofficial bar on a base in Tarin Kowt, the capital of Uruzgan province, in 2009.
