Green on Blue: causes and responses (merged thread)

[davidbfpo]

A slightly different lethal report:

Three British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan by a local policeman following an argument...The soldiers were serving in an Afghan Police Advisory Team and had been to the check point to conduct a shura (meeting). On leaving, they were engaged by small arms fire by a man wearing an Afghan Police uniform.

What I noted was that the policeman was:

a member of the Afghan Civil Order Police, whose members have a reputation for having better training and greater discipline than the notorious national police.

Now for the fact the politicians will not like, with my emphasis:

the deaths mean that a quarter of all British fatalities this year have been caused by Afghans soldiers with seven murdered at the hands of allies.

From the BBC report:

More than 20 foreign personnel have been killed in so-called rogue shootings in Afghanistan this year.

I don't recall this incident, maybe as it shows an ISAF on ANSF incident:

The shooting of 16 Afghans by a US soldier in March has also created resentment.
