FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The effect is so worrying that both Nato and Afghan commanders have made
studying and preventing the attacks a priority.
The Afghan army and police have tightened vetting procedures, have put
intelligence agents inside units and begun tapping the phones of suspected
insurgent infiltrators or sympathisers.
But how many of these killings are due to the insurgency?
Few attackers are taken alive – most escape or are gunned down – so the answer
is unclear, but both Nato and Afghan commanders believe few have anything to
do with the Taliban.
Nearly three quarters are in fact motivated by personal squabbles and
grievances which blow up into violence, they believe.
Gen Sher Mohammad Karimi, head of the Afghan army, told The Daily Telegraph
that 70 per cent were “individual cases, personal decisions, with their
own motivation: perhaps religious or personal.” “Maybe 20 to 30
per cent are sympathisers or recruited by the enemy.” Perceived
disrespect for Afghan religion and culture was the most common source of
friction, he said.
There were at least three separate attacks in the week after Korans were
inadvertently burned in Bagram airbase earlier this year.
He said Afghan soldiers also objected to being sworn at.
“In your language, a four letter word is not problem, but here people get
very offended by bad words.” A study into the problem commissioned by
the US Army, and later disavowed, found the problem was a “rapidly
growing systemic threat” because cultural tensions were so high between
the allies.
Afghan troops found their Western allies to be rude, arrogant and aggressive,
the study found. In return Western troops described their allies as lazy,
lying drug users.
Nato generals play down the role of clashing cultures and point to the higher
number of incidents where Afghan troops kill each other as evidence that
Nato troops are not singled out for attack.
“Quite often people resolve their problems by resorting to the use of a
weapon, it’s a normal thing here,” said one senior British officer.
