Afghan police and US soldiers killed by attackers in uniform
Source: The Guardian
An Afghan police officer has killed at least 10 of his fellow officers, a day after six US service members were shot dead by their Afghan partners.
Shakila Hakimi, a member of the Nimroz provincial council, said the policeman who opened fire on his colleagues at a checkpoint in Dilaram district on Saturday was believed to have had ties to militants. He was killed in an ensuing gun battle, she said in a telephone call from the provincial capital of Zaranj, along Afghanistan's western border with Iran.
"The checkpoint is in a remote area of a remote district," Hakimi said. "The telecommunications are poor and we are not able to get more details."
Hakimi said the provincial governor has sent a team to the scene to get more details about what happened.

to stage our upcoming invasion and occupation of Iran.
of course. How silly of me to imagine USA might have something
like a foreign policy that reflects the "ideals" it continually spouts
publicly ... like peace, democracy, good will, etc.
