Five British soldiers shot dead by afghani police men they were training !!

Quote

ok , this is like the command on the last instalment of the star wars movies , we think they are freinds till they are told to shoot us all!!

Five British soldiers have been shot dead in Helmand Province, in an attack the UK military blamed on a "rogue" Afghan policeman.

The soldiers, three from the Grenadier Guards and two from the Royal Military Police, had been mentoring and living with the Afghan police in a compound.

The officer opened fire, injuring eight others, before fleeing the compound.

Gordon Brown told MPs the Taliban said they had carried out the attack and may have infiltrated Afghan police.

Speaking in the Commons, the prime minister said evidence was being gathered and security would be stepped up after the shooting.

But he added that training of Afghan police remained an "essential element" of the strategy in Afghanistan and would not be stopped as it was "what the Taliban fears most".

Manhunt

A total of 92 UK service personnel have now been killed this year, the highest annual figure since the Falklands War in 1982.

Six British servicemen and two Afghan National Police officers were injured in the attack, in the Nad Ali district.

An investigation is under way and the soldiers' next of kin have been informed of the deaths.

A UK military spokesman said: "One individual Afghan National Policeman, possibly in conjunction with another, went rogue.

"His motives and whereabouts are unknown at this time. Every effort is now being put into hunting down those responsible for this attack."

BBC Kabul correspondent Ian Pannell said sources had indicated the attacker was a police officer called Gulbuddin who had fled the scene after the shooting.

It appears he could have been involved in a dispute with his commander, but tribal sources have pointed to a link with the Taliban, our correspondent said.

Well, this will certainly blow the hell out of any NATO soldiers' confidence in Afghani national forces.

Eight years ago, I was foolish enough to believe it when told we NEEDED to control Afghanistan. Now, I don't.

IMO, we are there for geopolitical purposes. Mineral wealth, military influence and intimidation, general control of Central Asia for long term gain, add some more.

It's all a big, big mistake, and will NEVER work out as envisioned by our monolithic "two party" government.

The Russians couldn't beat these people at the height of their power, and they are right next door...Genghis Khan tried it and failed...the mongols tried it and failed... Afghanistan is the place where empires go to die.

Both the Mongols and Alexander the Great conquered Afghanistan. The British could not. The Soviets were intervening on behalf of a friendly government.
