| Four Afghan coppers were rubbed out Friday in southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province in an insider attack by their colleagues, officials said. Mohammad Toryali, police chief of Grish district, said the shooting occurred at a police outpost during a shift change. The officers on duty were killed by four of their colleagues who had arrived to replace them, Toryali said. The killers fled. At least 55 foreign troops have died in attacks by Afghan cops this year. A similar number of Afghan coppers and soldiers have been killed in similar attacks by colleagues. The surge in attacks has undermined trust between the U.S.-led NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... coalition and its Afghan partners, throwing doubt on the capabilities of the Afghans ahead of the withdrawal of foreign combat troops in 2014. |
