FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The deaths bring the total number of British fatalities in Afghanistan to 422.
David Cameron led the tributes to the soldiers yesterday. “I am deeply
saddened by the appalling news that three British soldiers have been killed
in Afghanistan. My heart goes out to their families,” the Prime Minister
said.
“The suspected perpetrator is in custody and we will do everything in our
power, with the Afghan National Security Forces, to ensure that justice is
done.” Philip Hammond, the Defence Secretary, denounced the incident as a
“cowardly act”.
The dead soldiers were all members of an advisory team training the Afghan
police and had visited the checkpoint to conduct a meeting. “On leaving,
they were engaged by small arms fire by a man wearing an Afghan Police
uniform,” the Ministry of Defence said.
“During this exchange of fire the three soldiers were wounded and despite
receiving first aid at the scene, they died of their injuries.” The killer
was a member of the Afghan Civil Order Police, who have a reputation for
better training and greater discipline than the notorious national police. A
fierce argument had preceded the shooting according to one police source in
Helmand.
“There was an argument between the foreigners and the Afghans. There was a lot
of shouting and then suddenly there was shooting,” the source said.
Ghulam Sakhi Ghafoori, the head of the civil order police in Helmand, named
the killer as Ziauddin, a 25-year-old from Baghlan province who had joined
the force seven months ago.
All the police at that checkpoint had been detained for questioning he said.
The shooting is the third time this year that British servicemen have been
killed by their allies and brings their death toll from such attacks to
seven in 2012.
It is also the deadliest such incident to hit the British since 2010 when
three members of the Gurkhas were killed in their base by an Afghan soldier
who fled into the night and remains on the run.
