(MOSCOW RT) - TMZ released 41 shocking new photos on Wednesday that they say show US Marines burning the bodies of dead Iraqi insurgents in Fallujah in 2004.

TMZ did not reveal its source, and also said that some of the pictures were too gruesome to release.

"The actions depicted in these photos are not what we expect from our service members, nor do they represent the honorable and professional service of the more than 2.5 million Americans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan." a US Defense Department spokesman said in a statement.

He went on to say that the Marine Corps is investigating.

RT's Meghan Lopez talks to Jake Diliberto, a political research fellow at the Center for International Policy, about the latest explosive revelation of how some troops conducted themselves in the field of war.
