Paktika Provincial officials are today terming an overnight shooting incident at a police post a “Taliban conspiracy,” after an officer named Asadullah killed nine other police while he was on guard duty.
Asadullah was awoken at 3:00 AM for his turn at guard duty. He killed nine sleeping police with an assault rifle, looted all the weapons at the post, loaded them into a pickup truck and drove off.
Among the dead were the commander of the post and two of his sons. Asadullah has not been located but officials say two of his brothers have been captured for “questioning” by provincial officials.
The incident is the deadliest single incident of such killings by Afghan forces this year, but one of many incidents of Afghan police or soldiers turning their guns on their fellows, or NATO allies.
Stupid! Why do these people keep killing each other instead of refocusing on the ones that are invading, occupying and slaughtering them. Sheesh!
The fight against collaborators is as important. No occupation can succeed without collaborators, and they are usually much easier to target than the occupiers themselves. Raising the costs of collaboration is one way of forcing the occupation to either evacuate or spend even more blood and treasure on an even more hands-on occupation.
Hey, one never knows. May be he was killing the traitors among themselves first, before settling accounts with the invaders and occupiers.
Probably some Afghans are also very angry at the traitors who help the invader.
See what happens when you don't have "guardian angels" watching the "guardian angels" on duty?
And guardian angels watching the guardian angels and guardian angels watching the guardian angels and guardian angels watching the guardian angels and so on ad infinitum.
