FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A third Nato soldier was killed just hours later by an alleged Afghan police
officer in the eastern part of the country. The third soldier’s nationality
is not yet known.
The deaths are the latest in a spate of “green on blue” killings where Afghan
forces have turned their weapons on their Nato allies.
Commanders fear suspicion spread by the killings risks undermining efforts to
train and advise the Afghan army and police in preparation for them to take
charge of security duties by the end of 2014.
The incidents have increased in recent months. Six American soldiers were shot
dead by Afghan personnel last month alone, in apparent retaliation for the
burning of Korans at Bagram airfield, north of Kabul.
A total of 15 Nato troops have been shot dead by their Afghan allies in the
first three months of 2012 – or one in six of all coalition dead.
Col Abdul Nabi Elham, provincial police chief, said Lt Nazir appeared to have
become angered when the sentries had told him and his men to wait outside at
around 11am.
He said: “These Afghan soldiers came from another district and they had come
to meet friends arriving on a flight at the PRT. The British said it was not
allowed and they just had to wait outside.” Two Britons were killed and
another was critically wounded, he said.
Lt Nazir was also killed in the ensuing fire fight.
Ghulam Farooq Parwani, deputy commander of Afghan forces in Helmand, confirmed
Lt Nazir had spent four years in the army and was from Achin district of
Nangahar province in eastern Afghanistan.
The killings have raised fears of infiltration by insurgents, but
investigators have found many of the killings had no apparent links to the
Taliban and appeared driven by personal grievance, or resentment of the
foreign presence.
Classified military research into the killings last year concluded there was
often deep mistrust between the Nato-led and Afghan forces.
Afghans saw their Western comrades as arrogant, rude and aggressive.
In turn, the foreign forces often characterised their Afghan comrades as lazy,
thieving and addicted to drugs.
Mistrust has deepened as the killings have continued and Nato and foreign
embassies warned their staff to brace for further attacks as anti-Western
sentiment was stirred by the Koran burnings and the massacre of 17 civilians
by a rogue American soldier in Kandahar.
Hundreds of foreign aid advisers were temporarily removed from Afghan
government ministries in Kabul last month after two American officers were
shot dead in a joint command centre by an Afghan interior ministry driver
who is still on the run.
Coalition troops are increasingly moving to closely-matched advisory and
training roles rather than combat as they prepare to hand security duties to
Kabul.
A statement from Nato headquarters in Kabul said: “An individual wearing an
Afghan National Army uniform turned his weapon against International
Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members in southern Afghanistan
today, killing two service members.
“The individual who opened fire was killed when coalition forces returned
fire. A joint Afghan and ISAF team is investigating the incident.”
