TWENTY Afghan guards for the NATO-led Australian forces have defected to the Taliban in southern Afghanistan after a dispute with the soldiers, local police say.


“The Australian soldiers beat the Afghan guards after some verbal disputes in a military camp in Charchino district of Oruzgan province,” district police chief Wali Dad said today.

The angry guards set the security towers on fire and defected to the Taliban, taking weapons and ammunition, he said.

The defection occurred two days after a police chief and 12 of his men took weapons and joined the Taliban in western Farah province.
