An Afghan border policeman has shot dead two soldiers from the NATO-led coalition in northern Faryab province.
Abdul Sattar Bariz, the deputy governor of the province, said the victims were American soldiers, killed at a checkpoint by a member of the Afghan Border Police on Monday.
“He killed the two trainers while they were teaching them, in Faryab city,” Bariz told the Reuters news agency by telephone.
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said it was investigating the deaths.
“According to initial reporting, an individual in an Afghan Border Police uniform fired on the ISAF members inside a compound. The individual who fired the shots fled the scene,” an ISAF statement said.
The uniform does not prove conclusively the attacker was a policeman because Afghan security force outfits are readily available in markets across the country.
Their sale is technically illegal, and insurgents have sometimes worn them during attacks.
On a number of previous occasions, members or purported members of the Afghan security forces have killed their foreign counterparts.
This is how you deal with your enemies ak47 and a dozen goli’s, not like zardari and nawaz sharif who give raymond davies royal treatment like he is some kind of king.
Re: Afghan ‘policeman’ guns down American soldiers
^^right they are stuck in the middle which would be the case where there’s a large concentration of armed security forces in civilian areas but why forget all the good development and the help that nato forces have done for afghanistan though, except for the handful of nutjobs that exist in every country’s armed forces but why forget that there are good things that are being done too. terry jones and the “kill team” crazies shouldn’t be the only ones that are highlighted.
if the nato forces leave now, they will be criticized for leaving the the development and reconstruction unfinished, if they stay longer they are seen as the “kuffar enemies”. what are they supposed to do, they’re screwed and seen negatively either way.
do we ignore all this that’s been done by the NATO Forces?
Re: Afghan 'policeman' guns down American soldiers
^i don't get it though, just b/c a small group of mentally deranged soldiers created this kill team are all armed service men of the coalition forces seen as the "kill team" as a whole? just b/c a few muslims are in these groups of taliban do we group all muslims as taliban supporters.

Firstly, the occupation of a whole country over 1 person is not justified. Secondly, its not kill squads. They kill civilians daily from not paying enough attention.
thirdly, they should get out of Afghanistan and stop destabilising Pakistan. You know what I dislike about your mentality its the fact "Oh just cause one kill team" then next you will hear of another kill team and still claim it as a one off. What the hell are they doing in Islamic nations anyway. We're generally welcoming people but this is some sort of crusade. However, they were defeated then and they never win in Afghanistan. They should learn what happened to the Russians.
It's not about grouping people. End of the day the UN charter allows them to defend their country, people and livelihood. Hence the Taliban although I hate them very much are fighting war to get rid of a foreign invasion. Which I think is justified. I disagree with their religious thinking and tactics though.
Therefore, before you decide to back the USA, which is the biggest terrorist on the face of the planet which has ousted illegally over 50 governments since 1947 THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Afghan 'policeman' guns down American soldiers
these armed forces make up soldiers of other countries too not just the united states. as far as i'm concerned im trying to be as neutral as possible and not trying to defend anybody here.
i'd like to remind you that there are 20,000 muslim american soldiers in the "kuffar" american armed forces if you want to only target the american soldiers here.....
as i see it though the taliban are animals, they aren't trying to defend their country. they're blowing up schools and stopping women from getting an education by blowing their schools up or trying to blow them up
how are nato forces destabilizing pakistan by being in afghanistan? wasn't zardari the one who said that these armed forces shouldn't leave afghanistan too soon. if these coalition forces leave afghanistan would pakistan stop fighting the muslim taliban?
hazara are shia, they've been persecuted for years by the largely sunni taliban. is this something the united states made up or are they facts?
afghanistan is not an islamic country, it's a muslim majority country, just like pakistan is not an islamic country since full (sharia)islamic laws aren't enforced in either country......am i wrong?

The USA spearhead this campaign of imposing their beliefs on others and if you look at ISAF. 90,000 soldiers out of 132,000 are AMERICAN. So, I think it is a fair generalising to make to say its a US war with smaller countries there to bear the fruits. Well whether I am neutral or one sided I use facts to back my claims. Due to 20,000 soldiers in a army numbering over 1.1 million is nothing special. I can assure you when they signed up like many other soldiers it was to defend their country. Not to impose a colonisation on foreign countries are not a thread to USA in anyway. This is the western mentality but thankfully there are a large number of decent people of all races and faith that oppose such foreign policy. Those Muslims fighting in Afghanistan for their countries will have the same fate. Death. Only god can judge them. Like I said I'm no fan of certain tactics and thinking of the Taliban. They're small minded people however, I recognise and understand their resistance to a foreign occupation. How they treat women or their own people is another subject which I'd agree with you on.
Looks like your knowledge on US drone attacks on Pakistan is missing. If that is not destabilising then I don't know what is and also as the neighbour and Pakistan having many Pasthun people it was natural the Pakistanis would get involved. Also the Pakistan government are total idiots who only care about themselves. They can go to hell siding with the enemies. The Pakistan army had coerced into fighting the people they are meant to protect. If the USA did not invade Pakistan would be peaceful/ Hazaras and other minorities have been persecuted to an extent yes. They support the Americans and are not Sunnis therefore the Taliban attack them. However, that is not a good enough reason to invade a country for a small sect. The US don't give two flying ***** about anyone but their strategic control of the central Asian region. When will blind people like you understand?? What ever the US says your on the bandwagon without questioning it? It's like you live in a bubble and don't know the significance of US policy.
Afghanistan is officially called the Islamic republic of Afghanistan. It's people are nearly all Muslim. Whether the official law is Shariah or not doesn't make it any less Muslim then say some country like Saudia which is partially Shariah. Pakistan has majority Muslim and it was created for Muslims. So, if that isn't Islamic or Muslim enough I don't know what is....Like India is Hindu. Full Stop. It can blagg its secularism all it wants it will always be Hindu hence called Hindustan.
Also what is your point with your last sentence? I don't understand exactly what your implying.

On what grounds are you labeling NATO and the U.S as invaders? When all the facts and figures exist to inform you of NATO/U.S mission in Afghanistan; This is a war of intervention to stop Taliban and Al-Qaeda and not an occupation. The initial coalition entrance into Afghanistan was very small, providing assistance to Afghan fighters resisting the Taliban. The NATO mission that followed was set up under a UN mandate, and remains in Afghanistan today at the pleasure of a sovereign Afghan government, which was chosen by the Afghan people. We are sacrificing our soldiers, spending substantial amounts to train advise and equip the Afghan Police and Army, and billions to reconstruct and rebuild an Afghanistan destroyed by decades of war and neglected by the Taliban regime. The only enemies of the Afghan population are Taliban insurgents who do not miss a chance to stir up chaos and cause more innocent deaths by indiscriminate means. In fact, Afghan’s themselves use the term “enemies of Afghanistan” as shorthand for the Taliban. The Taliban’s intolerant ideology towards other religions resulted in multiple and recent attacks on Sufi shrines where they managed to kill dozens. Is not the terrorists’ only religion self interest and power? These terrorists continue to conduct attacks on Pakistani and Afghan soil, yet you are still engrossed with a false rhetoric of U.S. “invasion?” Is that helping you help your country?
Afghans were once oppressed by the Taliban who turned the country into a safe haven for Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda and their extremist agenda. [When thousands of Muslim Hazaras were killed at the hands of the Taliban,](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/un-finds-mass-graves-of-hazara-killed-by-taliban-656771.html) which Muslim countries on the basis of common religion, came to stop the killing? [What about Muslims killed as human shields or by suicide attacks in Pakistan](http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/pakistan/database/Fidayeenattack.htm) and Afghanistan? Are the oppression and killings demonstrations of Muslim solidarity? Let us not be naive enough to believe that countries form alliances based solely on religion. Granted that culture, religion and tradition play an important role, however, national interests and common goals are the key point behind such alliances. It is in the interest of Pakistan, the US and the entire international community to eradicate terrorism in the region. Henceforth, it is a common goal of the Pakistani Army and ISAF to create a stable and peaceful environment where the youth of these countries no longer experience fear and poverty and can live in a world of freedom and prosperity.
