FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Monday’s shooting occurred in the village of Robat, in Kandahar province’s
Spin Boldak district which borders Pakistan. The troops had gone there for a
meeting about opening two schools and a health center, the Albanian defence
ministry said.
The soldiers “found themselves attacked by a group of persons wearing uniforms
of the Afghan police,” Brigadier General Viktor Berdo, the head of Albanian
forces, told reporters in the country’s capital Tirana.
The attackers opened fire with five assault rifles and one light machine gun.
One Albanian, a captain, died later in a hospital in the provincial capital
of Kandahar city. Albanian officials initially said a corporal also was
killed, but later clarified that the soldier was in a coma, adding “there is
still hope of improvement.”
Another international soldier was wounded, the defence ministry said, without
providing a nationality.
The Albanian ministry said the remaining soldiers “arrested 11 Afghan
policemen who opened fire.”
Albanian President Bamir Topi denounced the attack as a “grave terrorist act”
and called for the punishment of those responsible.
It was the first time any of Albania’s soldiers have been killed in
Afghanistan. The country has 265 troops in the country.
There have been more than 45 of these insider attacks in Afghanistan since
2007, more than 75 percent of those in the last two years, according to
Pentagon data.
