Afghan 'policeman' faked injury to kill UK soldiers - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The killer of two British soldiers shot in Afghanistan on Saturday lured them to his side with a fake injury before firing on them, the BBC understands. The troops, from 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, died after the Afghan man - who was wearing a local police uniform - attacked them at a checkpoint in the south of Nahr-e Saraj, Helmand province. It is not yet known whether the man was a real Afghan policeman. The men's families have been informed. Meanwhile, at least eight women have died in a Nato air strike in Afghanistan's eastern province of Laghman, according to local officials. Nato says that the deaths occurred as it targeted insurgents in the area. Following the killing of the two British soldiers, spokesman Maj Laurence Roche said the regiment had suffered a "deep loss". He said: "Everyone serving within Task Force Helmand will want to send our condolences to the soldiers' families and loved ones at this time." BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale says he understands the Afghan man responsible for the attack had first claimed to be wounded, prompting members of the British patrol to go to help him. As the soldiers approached him, he shot and killed them. He was then killed in return fire, our correspondent says. The number of British military personnel killed since operations began in Afghanistan in 2001 is 430. Meanwhile, another four soldiers with the Nato-led force in Afghanistan have been killed in a separate attack believed to have been carried out by Afghan police officers, according to Nato. These soldiers were not British.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-19616522[/url] That's tragic and the woman that got accidentally killed will no doubt be used as a vengeance point somewhere.

Asshole.

[QUOTE=Zambies!;37688191]"These guys actually want to treat OUR wounded! What assholes lets kill them!" ~Taliban logic[/QUOTE] yeah put them all in the same bag

Absolutely terrible. They go to help a man and gets killed. Rest in peace.

[QUOTE=falcont2t;37688612]yeah put them all in the same bag[/QUOTE] this has been going on for months and shows no indication of stopping, even though the people who carry out these attacks are gun down about a half a second later somehow they can sustain themselves and keep up doing this shit. Not even a minority at this point, there are as many of them that want to just go and start offing people as there are that just want to go about their lives in peace, if there wasn't, they would run out of people at some point. and that's really fucking sad.

The amount of green-on-blue attacks that are happening is sickening. The Taliban found a weakness and exploitable way to kill soldiers. They're supposed to be implementing new, intense background checks soon which will hopefully reduce the amount of rogue cops.

[QUOTE=Zambies!;37688191]"These guys actually want to treat OUR wounded! What assholes lets kill them!" ~Taliban logic[/QUOTE] Its almost as if the Taliban are insurgents fighting a guerilla war. Who knew

Even for the Taliban, that's pretty low.

it feels exactly like in the movies

[QUOTE=Mingebox;37689281]Even for the Taliban, that's pretty low.[/QUOTE] You mean the guys who give candy to children to encourage suicide bombing and use depressed women as suicide bombers? This is far from the furthest they've sunk.

[QUOTE=Carpinator;37691635]LOL[/QUOTE] Why do I know this is going to be a post with every rating? Anyway, my thoughts are with the families. Such a tragic way to be killed.

[QUOTE=falcont2t;37688612]yeah put them all in the same bag[/QUOTE] Oh yeah I'm sure the rest of the Taliban are lovely people.

Aren't there war laws against this kind of thing?

[QUOTE=Jookia;37693358]Aren't there war laws against this kind of thing?[/QUOTE] You think the Taliban care? Not to mention this isn't a conventional war. We aren't fighting a nation, we're fighting a group of terrorists.
