Grenadier Guardsman Daniel Crook was jailed for 18 months and dismissed from the Army in June for stabbing Ghulam Nabi in the kidney with a bayonet in Helmand Province.

Details of the incident emerged in a court martial, which heard that the soldier stabbed the boy who had been pestering Crook for chocolate.

The incident took place in March last year after Crook had drunk a bottle of vodka sent in a disguised container from a friend in England. The soldier had been so drunk that prior to the patrol he needed treatment from medics, court martial was told.

Prior to the patrol in the Nad e’Ali area of central Helmand, Crook’s rifle had been confiscated but the soldier had armed himself with a bayonet and two hand grenades.

The prosecution said he came across two Afghans riding bikes – one of them was Ghulam, who had been sent out to collect a bottle of yoghurt and who then pestered Crook for chocolate.

In response, the soldier “took hold of the boy’s shoulder and stabbed him in the region of his kidneys with his bayonet”.

Afterwards, Crook caught up with the patrol and admitted what he had done. When questioned by military police he could not explain why he had stabbed the boy.

The boy’s father, Haji Shah Zada, 72, told the Guardian newspaper that he could not understand why his son was attacked and had received no apology from the British forces.

The shopkeeper and farmer said his son was still suffering and has not yet been back to school.

He said British forces were “in Afghanistan to build the country and remove insurgents, not to stab a child”.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: “Protecting the Afghan civilian population is one of Isaf and the UK’s top priorities.

“All British troops undergo comprehensive training on the strict rules of engagement that UK forces and Isaf operate under. Any allegations of infringements of these rules of engagement are investigated thoroughly.

“Those who are found to fall short of the Army’s high standards or who are found to have committed an offence are dealt with administratively – up to and including discharge – or through the discipline process, as appropriate.”

dont kill ppl to make a statement. make a statement. if u dont feel u can do anything with words and want to fight as a soldier, to sacrifice yr life for a cause u believe in, go to the battlefield and be a soldier.

What excludes woolwich from being in the battlefield?

Does the same apply in Afghanistan?

 

they want to bring the war here so the british will understand and replace their evil govt

 

they do not realise the british are a pampered and racist nation literally with the mind of babies

 

this will not make them wake up and care that their govt is an evil regime

 

bringing the war here via isolated attacks on random individuals will have two effects :

 

detriment for muslims here,and no improvement elsewhere

 

is that what they are looking for?

Government wise... Was Labour who happily sent us to invade these other countries, and I'm of the opinion that it will be Labour again who the majority of Muslim Voters will be backing next time around.

 

Fair enough as well this guy doing his little preach about his religion and reasons for doing what he did... then people are talking how he's some heroin dealer on the side too.
