Man Kills Six Police Officers in Helmand
2013-06-15
[Tolo News] In a shocking incident, a man killed six coppers in the southern Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province early Thursday.

"The incident took place in the Mousa Qala district of the province, when the man was called at a check post by the officers. He rubbed out six coppers," the Provincial Governor's Spokesman Omar Zowak said.

"The man fled from the scene of the crime along with their weapons and a police vehicle," Zowak said.

"The police have started investigating the incident," he added.

No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the incident.

Previously, an incident similar to this had happened where a man killed seven coppers in the southern Kandahar province.

The incident took place when the man was invited for dinner by the officers.
In both cases it could have been planned, or it could have been the Afghan version of a sudden emotional outburst. They're prone to suddenly up and killing whoever annoyed them and all of their companions, 'tis said.
