A teenager has been charged after making comments on Facebook about the deaths of six British soldiers in Afghanistan last week.
Azhar Ahmed (19), posted the comments on his profile page and has been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence, according to West Yorkshire Police.
A police spokesman said Mr Ahmed, of Fir Avenue, Ravensthorpe, West Yorkshire, was bemoaning the level of attention the British soldiers who died in a bomb blast last week received compared to Afghan civilians who have died in the war.
Mr Ahmed will appear at Dewsbury Magistrates’ court on March 20th.
