Two Nato's UK soldiers shot dead by man wearing Afghan police uniform
 Part of channel(s): Afghanistan (current event)

A man wearing an Afghan police uniform has killed two Nato service members in southern Afghanistan, according to the international military coalition.



The attack on Tuesday appeared to be the latest in a string of "green on blue" incidents that have placed severe strains on the partnership between international troops and the Afghan forces they are trying to train to take over responsibility for the country's security.



There have also been cases of insurgents wearing Afghan uniforms when they carry out attacks.



The Nato statement gave no further details, saying the shooting was still under investigation.



At least 53 international troops have been killed in confirmed attacks by Afghan soldiers or police this year, and a number of other assaults are still under investigation.

  • My advice to the two Nato service members that got killed, don't be a Nato service member and you wont get killed!

    • @wastedawayishe Or rather, don't be a NATO service member outside NATO territory and you are less likely to be killed.
      But then, the NATO troops down there aren't there as members of NATO, as NATO is supposed to be a defensive coalition. They are there as ISAF.
      Accordingly: Don't be a NATO service member outside NATO territory under the ISAF label and you are pretty safe.

  • "green on blue", don't make me laugh. There is "blue", the ISAF, everyone else is "red", in case you haven't noticed. Because really, ISAF forces don't belong there, they are - undenyably - foreign occupiers.
