发帖数: 901 | 1 An Afghan policeman turned his weapon on U.S. troops today, killing two
soldiers in Western Afghanistan, the latest incident in a deadly two-week
span for U.S. forces.
Nineteen U.S. troops and one aid worker have been killed in Taliban attacks
in the past two weeks, nine of them shot to death in cold blood by rogue
Afghan soldiers or policemen.
Today's incident took place in the western province of Farah, far from the
insurgent hotbeds in the country's south and east. U.S. forces had come to
the village of Kinisk as part of a mission to train members of the Afghan
Local Police, or ALP. The ALP differs from the Afghan National Police in
that they are recruited primarily to provide security for local villages and
regions that are far from bigger towns and cities.
In this case, the alleged shooter, identified as Mohammed Ismail, a man in
his 30s, was killed in a return exchange of gunfire. It's believed he signed
up for the ALP five days ago, according to a local police commander.
In the past, the ALP has been heavily criticized for poor training,
corruption, heavy-handed tactics and long-standing links to criminal
organizations.
