aliban soldier claiming he'd killed 12 Australians

[amidamaru]

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has dismissed as "untrue propaganda" some claims made by the Afghan soldier who shot three Australian troops last year.

In a Taliban video, Mohammed Roozi has boasted about the shooting, claiming he killed 12 Australians.

Roozi was a member of the Afghan National Army when he seriously injured the Australian soldiers as well as two Afghan soldiers in Oruzgan province.

Ms Gillard said the video was propaganda.

"The actual claims about the numbers of deaths of Australian soldiers aren't true in this propaganda video," she told reporters in the flood-stricken town of St George in Queensland today.

"But the fact that there's this disgusting anti-Australian soldier propaganda anywhere in the world is offensive to me and to all Australians."

The Prime Minister said the claims were designed to corrode trust

"Propaganda is used by people like that to get people like you (journalists) to ask these sorts of questions," she said.

"It's aimed at trust. That's exactly what it's aimed at.

"It's aimed at denting our will. Well, no amount of propaganda is going to dent our will to get this mission done."

In the video, Roozi said he wanted to kill foreigners and teach them a lesson.

He said he was a Muslim and did not accept foreigners working alongside him.

Roozi said that after he shot the troops, he joined the Taliban.







quite comical really, this guys claims he killed so many etc.. but the thing is, if a soldier dies, it is not kept secret, its all over the news, the family are notified you cant escape that... and they would say something if it was kept secret...

exagerated to the max lol

english is obviously not your first language... you have misinterpreted the context in which she said that!.

she is saying she finds it disgusting that there is this type of anti australian propaganda ... whether it is in afghanistan, or england or america or china.. it doesnt matter.

she did not say there is anti australian propaganda everywhere...

infinite - my country may not have a massive army, but our equipment is just as good as yours, actually, better

our soldiers are most definitely better then yours lol

dont think of australia as a single country, we are a part of the commonwealth, to which many countries , especially the UK are under the same banner

The Taliban soldier claimed he killed 12 soldiers in a propaganda video. He didn't really and this is well known. He wounded some Aussie soldiers, yes.

He will be found and killed.

the fact that the Australian PM saying there is Ant-Australian propaganda everywhere, frankly I find that quite funny!

She said "anywhere" not "everywhere" Re read the line to put it in context

Australia is often punching well above it's weight.It should be taught a lesson.

How is Australia punching well above it's weight? You obviously underestimate Australias weight.
