KABUL, Afghanistan

A spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Wednesday that the government has launched an investigation into a television report claiming that U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan burned the bodies of two suspected Taliban fighters, then used the action to taunt other Islamic militants.
"We strongly condemn any disrespect to human bodies, regardless of whether they are those of enemies or friends," said Karim Rahimi, a spokesman for Karzai.
The U.S. military said it found the alleged action "repugnant" and said it would investigate.
Australia's SBS television network broadcast video footage purportedly showing U.S. soldiers burning the bodies of the suspected Taliban fighters in the hills outside the southern village of Gonbaz, near the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar.
