I don’t understand, what’s the problem – How do they “retrieve” the body parts of a Homicide Bomber ?

A Gurkha soldier has been flown back to the UK after hacking the head off a
dead Taliban commander with his ceremonial knife to prove the dead man’s identity.
His unit had been told that they were seeking a ‘high value target,’ a Taliban commander, and that they
must prove they had killed the right man.
The Gurkhas had intended to remove the Taliban leader’s body from the battlefield for identification purposes.
But they came under heavy fire as their tried to do so. Military sources said that in the heat of battle, the Gurkha took out his curved kukri knife and beheaded the dead insurgent.
He is understood to have removed the man’s head from the area, leaving the rest of his body on the battlefield.
This is considered a gross insult to the Muslims of Afghanistan, who bury the entire body of their dead even if parts have to be retrieved.
A source said: ‘Removing the head in this way was totally inappropriate.’
