KABUL, March 11 (Reuters) - Two American soldiers were kille
d in a so-called insider attack when a person in an Afghan military uniform turned his weapon on U.S. and Afghan forces at a joint base in the restive east of the country, coalition forces said on Monday.Three policemen and two Afghan army officers were also killed in the attack, said a senior police official.The attack took place as a deadline expired for U.S. special forces to quit the eastern province of Wardak, after Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused them and Afghans working for them of overseeing torture and killings in the area.An Afghan interior ministry official said the attack occurred in Jalriz district of Wardak. It was not immediately clear if it was directed at U.S. special forces.U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, who left Afghanistan early on Monday after a three-day visit, raised the sensitive issue of Wardak when he met Karzai.
this is something we may never know the truth about but even for him to bring up torture at all i believe is a direct result og Cheyney/ Bush torture tactics. never admitting andthereby never appologizing.
do you really think as wish washy as Karzai we would claim torture had there not have been any on our side of the war?
Afghans are divided over their expulsion, saying the departure of the U.S. special forces could leave a vacuum for insurgents to fill, which would pose a security risk for nearby Kabul.Incidents involving Afghan security forces turning their weapons on the NATO-led forces who train them and fight Taliban insurgents have increased sharply over the past year.
so because we are leaving they try to kill as many as they can before we leave, are they more concerned about the American money they lose if we leave then whether they can stand up or just let the Taliban or Al-Queda go back to supporting them, either way it's free ride.
