Afghan police join Taliban militants

According to local officials, at least 20 afghan police officer defected following a dispute with the Australian soldiers in Chahar Chino district of Uruzgan Province.

“The Australian soldiers beat the Afghan guards after some verbal disputes in a military camp in Charchino district of Uruzgan province,” Wali Dad, a local police chief said.

He further added that the afghan police officers set fire to security towers and defected to the Taliban, taking weapons and ammunition.

Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of 130,000 US-led forces in the war-torn country.
