Suspected Afghan Police (Taliban) Kills Albanian Soldier
2012-02-20
Suspected Afghan police opened fire on Albanian and other foreign troops in the war-wracked country's south Monday, killing an Albanian soldier, and wounding an Albanian and another international soldier, authorities said. Eleven suspected policemen were arrested.
An entire troop of turncoat assholes? Karzai will pardon them and condemn USAF for getting in the way of their bullets
The death was the first for Albanian troops in Afghanistan.
RIP - and thank you for your sacrifices
The shootings appeared to be the latest in a growing number of attacks by Afghan police or army soldiers on foreign forces, a trend that has raised concerns about the vetting of Afghan recruits and threatened the international military commitment to the country. Last month, France suspended its training program and warned it may withdraw its forces a year ahead of schedule after an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French soldiers.
which is the point
Monday's shooting occurred in the village of Robat, in the southern district of Spin Boldak near the Pakistani border, Kandahar police chief Abdul Raziq said. The troops were accompanying a USAID team for a meeting about opening two schools and a health center, Albania's defense ministry said.
schools and health centers are unIslamic
The soldiers "found themselves attacked by a group of persons wearing uniforms of the Afghan police," Brig. Gen. Viktor Berdo, head of Albanian land forces, told reporters in Tirana.

The Albanian ministry said the remaining soldiers "arrested 11 Afghan policemen who opened fire."
Should've killed each and every one of them
