The newspaper said that the same platoon, a few months later, went to investigate an incident in which alleged Taliban insurgents accidentally blew themselves up. On this occasion, the soldiers were again photographed with corpses.

According to the newspaper, a total of 18 images were taken during several months in 2010 by an unnamed former member of the unit.

The person in question made the photographs available and said this was done "in order to draw the attention to the collapse of leadership and discipline in the army and the threat that poses to the soldiers".

The U.S. military has launched a criminal investigation, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The police have also announced that they will continue the operation on a daily basis.
The operation followed after the Greek authorities announced that they would open centers across Greece where illegal immigrants would be placed until the authorities decided whether they would be deported back to their countries of granted asylum.

“The plan is to place the illegal immigrants in ‘closed centers’”, Greek Interior Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis told Ioannina-based Sky Radio.

According to him, illegal immigration represents a big problem and “Greece cannot turn a blind eye anymore”. He added that the problem was visible every day in downtown Athens.

Chrisochoidis assessed that the exact number of illegal immigrants in the country could be as high as one million. He added that Greece had to undertake emergency measures to curb illegal immigration so the country would not be thrown out of the Schengen zone.

“The evaluation will be made in June and if we leave Schengen, it will be a huge step back,” the interior minister concluded.

In the meantime Turkish ambassador in Paris was recalled to Ankara for consultations.
"France massacred an estimated 15 percent of the Algerian population starting from 1945. This is genocide," Erdogan said.

The ruling Republican People's Party has launched a proposal in the Turkish parliament, urging MPs to adopt a resolution based on which all those who denied France’s genocide in Algeria and Rwanda would be sanctioned.

The relations between France and Turkey reached the boiling point after the French parliament had adopted a law that envisages sanctions for denial of genocide against Armenians in 1915.

Turkish Ambassador to France Tahsin Burcuoglu left Paris this morning after the Turkish government had recalled him “for consultations”.

“We are very sad. The Franco-Turkish relations did not deserve this but the damage has already been done,” he said just before he left for Ankara.

The French law has “struck a nerve” since Turkey denies committing the genocide and claims that mass killings in 1915 were a result of WWI.

The French parliament adopted the law that envisaged fines up to EUR 45,000 and up to a year in prison for all those who deny that the genocide was committed against the Armenians.

In Paris, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe termed Turkey’s decision regrettable, and urged the country not to “overreact.”

He said that France had not considered recalling its ambassador from Turkey.

“What I wish is that our Turkish friends will not overreact to this decision by the French National Assembly,” Juppe stressed.

France recognized the 1915 killings as genocide in 2001.

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian thanked France, which had "once again proved its commitment to universal human values".

The veteran leader died on December 17 at 8:30 local time on a train trip, a weeping announcer said, saying that he had died of fatigue.
The news came in a "special broadcast" by Pyongyang early on Monday. It had previously been expected that the announcement would relate to media reports in South Korea that the North has agreed to suspend its uranium enrichment program.

A few hours after the announcement of Kim Jong Il's death, North Korea's official state news agency KCNA declared his youngest son, Kim Jong un as the "great successor to the revolutionary cause of Juche and outstanding leader of our party, army and people."

Juche is Pyongyang's political ideology of self-reliance.

Kim Jong Un had been seen as the leader-in-waiting after being appointed to a senior military post and political post in 2010.

South Korea's military was placed on high alert Monday, but said it had detected no signs of unusual movement by the North's military following news of the death.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak discussed the situation in a telephone conversation with his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama.

"The president reaffirmed the U.S.' strong commitment to the stability of the Korean peninsula and the security of our close ally, the Republic of Korea," the White House said in a statement.

"The two leaders agreed to stay in close touch as the situation develops and agreed they would direct their national security teams to continue close coordination."

Kim Jong Il is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008. However, he had appeared relatively healthy in recent photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia.

The man known as the "Dear Leader" in North Korea is thought to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine. Some reports claim he had diabetes and heart disease.

He came to power following the sudden death of his father, the "Great Leader," Kim Il Sung in 1994.

KCNA reported that a period of national morning had been declared to run until December 29. Kim Jong Un is to head the committee to organize his father's funeral, which is to be held on December 28.
