AI Summary

short article 1 min

Der ehemalige australische Elitesoldat Ben Roberts-Smith, ein hochdekorierter Kriegsveteran, wurde wegen mutmaßlicher Kriegsverbrechen festgenommen. Roberts-Smith, der im Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) diente und mehrfach für seinen Einsatz in Afghanistan ausgezeichnet wurde, sah sich ab 2018 mit Vorwürfen konfrontiert, unbewaffnete afghanische Gefangene getötet zu haben. Er bestreitet die Vorwürfe und klagte gegen Medien, die darüber berichteten. Australien entsandte nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September rund 39.000 Soldaten nach Afghanistan. Berichte werfen australischen Spezialeinheiten, die dort im Einsatz waren, brutales Verhalten vor.
