Afghan cop shoots dead five British soldiers in cold blood as they drank tea in military compound![]()
ALSO INCLUDES ON THE SPOT VIDEO Afghanistan's police are poorly trained, plagued by drug addiction and infiltrated by the Taliban 'at every level', a former British soldier said today. The Afghan National Police (ANP) is actually a militia made up of local men whose allegiances are to their tribes rather than the national or local governments, according to Captain Doug Beattie. Mr Beattie, who worked with the ANP during tours of Afghanistan in 2006-07 and 2008, said Afghan police officers were often paid off by insurgents. But he suggested that the horrific shooting, in which five British soldiers were killed by a rogue Afghan policeman, could have been sparked by a cultural misunderstanding. 'The Grenadier Guards have only just arrived there. They are getting to know the Afghan police,' he said. 'It could be somebody has said or done something and there's a general grievance. 'It could be that they have offended him without realising it, with them being new in country.' Mr Beattie has had his own run-ins with the Afghan police - he believes an ambush of his unit in Garmsir in Helmand Province in 2006 was set up between the Taliban and the ANP. He also alleged that a former chief of police in Helmand was caught talking directly to the Taliban on his personal phone on several occasions. 'It is absolutely right to say that the Afghan police are infiltrated by the Taliban at every level, from the very lowest to the very highest,' he said. Mr Beattie added: 'Fears about the police are really well founded and they have been known about since 2006. 'They're really a militia, a tribal police whose allegiances are not necessarily to the government or even to the provincial governor. It is normally to their village or tribe or the area they come from. 'Because they're militia they can be bought and paid off at will. If the government's paying them they're reasonably happy. But if they don't get enough money they're quite happy to be paid by the insurgency." He also raised concerns about drug abuse among Afghan police officers, large numbers of whom are said to be habitual users of heroin or cannabis. Mr Beattie, from Portadown in Northern Ireland, retired this year after 27 years in the Army. Edited by Billposter, Nov 4 2009, 04:45 PM.

My sympathy goes out to all the families who have and are still losing their loved ones under these terrible circumstances. Unfortunately these deaths although shocking are becoming an almost daily occurrence. I think sometimes you have to admit when your on a losing battle, our soldiers need to come home for good. |

If that is the case then they should be at home with their loving families and friends. |

![]() High-profile dissident republican Colin Duffy, (On Left carrying poster)who murdered two soldiers sappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey who unarmed and unsuspecting were collecting a pizza delivery prior to their posting to Afghanistan. He also murdered two policemen in Lurgan whilst disguised as a woman. He wallked up behind them and shot them unsuspecting in the head. This scumbag never faced those he murders like a man always like the coward he is never in a fair fight. That is exactly whats happened today in Afghanistan. # His sidekick is fellow anti-Orange parades agitator Brendan McCkenna (on the right with glasses) who bombed the Royal British Legion in Portadown and opposes the Orangemen of the town who belong to an Ex Servicemens Orange lodge completing their annual Battle of the Somme commemmoration via the Garvaghy Road from Drumcree.

Unbelievable. 8 others wounded, thank god they weren't killed aswell, I hope they pull through. You can bet your bottom dollar the terrorist supporting scum will be celebrating in Britain behind closed doors in the homes we taxpayers are forced to provide them with. TALIBAN SCUM! I'm surprised the BBC and Guardian haven't called for a national day of celebration yet. |
