Default Commonwealth war graves desecrated in Lybia

Don't know how you feel, but this sort of thing makes my blood boil.

Quote:
ARMED Libyan rebels have kicked down the gravestones in a Commonwealth cemetery.
The Islamic militia men shot of a video of the heartless vandalism that shows them desecrating tomb stones and using a sledge hammer to smash the Cross of Remembrance, the Herald Sun reported.
More than 1000 soldiers and airmen who lost their lives in the Western Desert wars between 1942 to 1943, are buried at the site in Eastern Libya.
It is believed Australians are buried in the military cemetery.
The sickening attack was done over two days and the vandals can be heard saying, "They are dogs, they are dogs'', "Destroy that cross, they are dogs'' and "We begin with this one then we’ll take care of that other one. We won’t leave any left.''
