Afghan official says member of government-backed militia has shot and killed
5 colleagues
Amir Shah, The Associated Press
KABUL - An Afghan official says a member of the country's government-backed
militia has shot and killed five of his colleagues.
Badhis provincial government spokesman Mirwais Mirzakwal told The Associated
Press on Friday that the shooting happened Thursday morning in a remote part
of Qadis district.
The spokesman says investigators have been sent to the area where the
shooting occurred but that he has limited information because the region is
difficult to call over the telephone.
The attacker was a member of the Afghan Local Police, a program in which the
government in Kabul and international allies train and fund villagers to
mount defence forces against insurgents.
It was the latest in a string of insider attacks by members of the Afghan
security forces against colleagues or international advisers.
