A MAN who posted a Facebook message after the deaths of six British troops that read "all soldiers should die and go to hell" has been found guilty of a grossly offensive communication.
Azhar Ahmed, 20, admitted posting the message in March, but told Huddersfield Magistrates Court he thought it was distressing but not offensive.
District Judge Jane Goodwin said Ahmed's Facebook remarks were "derogatory, disrespectful and inflammatory".
