FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A man in Afghan army uniform opened fire at British servicemen, killing two. The attacker was eliminated in reprisal fire. Tensions remain high in Afghanistan after another recent incident that ended with 17 civilians dead.
NATO spokesman Major Jason Waggoner confirmed the incident, saying the gunman was “shot and killed,” refusing though to provide further details.
The incident took place at NATO’s main base in Helmand province – Camp Bastion northwest of province’s capital Lashkar Gah. The base was built by British in 2006 and accommodates 21,000 people.
A Helmand provincial spokesman, Daud Ahmadi, said the British soldiers passed a remark to an Afghan guard at the main base gate about him incorrectly patting down a person coming into the compound. The Afghan then pointed his machine-gun at the two and shot them dead.
The number of similar incidents has been growing over the last year and it is little wonder tensions are running high between the coalition forces and Afghans over the unceasing chain of incidents that leave Afghan civilians dead and wounded.
The latest notorious incident pertains to an American soldier, allegedly acting alone, going on a rampage in two neighboring villages in Kandahar province, killing 17 civilians. The fact that the soldier was returned to the US without trial in Afghanistan has escalated tensions in the country to a fever pitch.
Another incident in February sparked violent protests after the US troops at a military base in Bagram improperly disposed of Korans confiscated from inmates. The riots and attacks on American base killed over 30 people, six American soldiers included.
The so-called green-on-blue attacks, in which Afghan security or military forces turn on their NATO trainers, are becoming increasingly common. The Taliban also is getting accustomed to the tactics of disguising its fighters in Afghan army uniforms to launch attacks on coalition forces.
In late February, police were hunting an Afghan police intelligence officer suspected of killing two American ISAF officers at the Interior Ministry in Kabul. The officer has not been located.
In early February, an Afghan guard was shot dead by an American counterpart in Saripul province after arguing at the gate of a US base. The American reported that he thought his Afghan colleague was about to attack him.
All in all, there have been reports of already 20 NATO service personnel killed by soldiers of the Afghan army and law enforcement, allegedly recruited for this purpose by the Taliban.
