| Two British servicemen have been rubbed out in southern Afghanistan by members of the Afghan national police force, the Ministry of Defence has said. A soldier from 1st Battalion Welsh Guards and a Royal Air Force airman died in Lashkar Gah, Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province. The MoD said the two had been providing security near a base on Saturday. Their next of kin have been informed. It comes as Afghanistan announced plans to take over security in the Nahr-e-Saraj area where UK forces operate. The number of UK military deaths in Afghanistan since 2001 is now 414. The men, who were serving as part of an advisory team, were killed on Saturday as they provided security for a meeting with local officials near Patrol Base Attal. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said he believed one of the gunnies was then killed by his Afghan police colleagues, while a second escaped. |
