Fareed Ahmad, a spokesman for the Helmand provincial police, said the
policemen opened fire at 3pm at a joint Afghan-coalition compound, killing
two coalition troops.
He said a third Afghan policemen fired at the attackers, killing one and
wounding the other, who escaped.
According to Mr Ahmad, the gunmen had been members of the Afghan National
Police for a year and were from Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan.
However, Nato said its investigation indicated that the assailants were
insurgents dressed in police uniforms, not official members of the police
force.
Major Ian Lawrence, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: “Sadly, it is
my duty to confirm that a soldier serving with 1st Battalion Welsh Guards
and an airman from The Royal Air Force have been shot and killed in the
Lashkar Gah district of Helmand province.
“The thoughts and condolences of everyone serving in the Task Force are
with their families and friends.”
Eighteen Nato service personnel have ben killed in Afghanistan this month.
The incident is the latest in a string of “green on blue” attacks in which
members of the Afghan security forces have appeared to have opened fire on
international allies.
In March, Sergeant Luke Taylor, of the Royal Marines, and Lance Corporal
Michael Foley, of the Adjutant General’s Corps (Staff and Personnel Support)
were shot dead by an Afghan soldier at the entrance to the UK headquarters
in Helmand province.
Five British soldiers were killed by a rogue Afghan policeman in November
2009. The gunman opened fire on the men in a military compound in Nad e-Ali
before fleeing. The Taliban later claimed responsibility.
The victims were Warrant Officer Class 1 Darren Chant, 40, from Walthamstow,
London, Sergeant Matthew Telford, 37, from Grimsby, and Guardsman Jimmy
Major, 18, also from Grimsby, all members of 1st Battalion The Grenadier
Guards. Royal Military Policemen Corporal Steven Boote, 22, from Birkenhead,
and Corporal Nicholas Webster-Smith, 24, from Brackley, Northamptonshire,
were also killed.
