FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Lt Col Richard Parry, spokesman for British forces in Helmand, said: “I
can confirm he needed some medical treatment and it was after that when he
opened fire.” “We are not talking serious treatment and we don’t
know if he was genuinely injured.”
Hours later, four Americans were also shot dead by one or more Afghan
policemen in Zabul province, bringing the toll from such shootings to at
least 51 in 2012 alone – nearly one-in-six of all Nato deaths in Afghanistan
this year.
The American soldiers were shot dead at a remote checkpoint in Zabul’s Mizan
district after they had answered distress calls from policemen who were
under attack by Taliban fighters.
Ghulam Gilani, the deputy police chief of the province, said it was not clear
if some of the Afghan police turned on their American helpers in the middle
of the battle with the insurgents, or afterward.
“Whether they attacked the Americans willingly we don’t know,” he
said.
The attacks came only two days after the attack on Camp Bastion, where Prince
Harry is stationed. The Taliban claimed the attack late on Friday evening on
the sprawling base in Helmand was due to the anti-Islamic film which has
caused protests across the Middle East, adding that Bastion had been chosen
because of Prince Harry’s presence.
Details were also disclosed of the hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of
damage caused during the Bastion weekend attack.
Six American AV-8B Harrier jets were destroyed and two badly damaged when
around 15 attackers breached the perimeter around the camp’s airfield and
began firing rockets and assault rifles at the aircraft. Three refuelling
stations were also destroyed and six soft-skin hangars were damaged.
The attackers were “well equipped, trained and rehearsed,” the
coalition said and had been wearing
US Army uniforms to sow confusion during the attack.
British
troops from 5 RAF Force Protection Wing (51 Squadron RAF), the RAF Regiment,
were first on the scene and, fighting alongside US Marines, repelled the
insurgents in a gun battle lasting more than five hours.
Two US Marines died in the attack and several British airmen were wounded, but
none were classed as serious. In all, eight servicemen and a civilian
contractor were injured. A total of 14 attackers were killed and one was
captured wounded.
Nato meanwhile was accused on Sunday of killing at least eight women in an air
strike in Laghman province. that was targeting about 45 insurgents. The
US-led International Security Assistance Force later extended its “deepest
regrets and sympathies” over the incident.
Separately a
soldier killed in a roadside bomb on Friday has been named as Lance Corporal
Duane Groom from The Queen’s Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier
Guards.
