Suspected rogue Afghan soldier kills 2 NATO soldiers

KABUL | Mon Mar 26, 2012 4:41am EDT

(Reuters) - A gunman wearing an Afghan army uniform killed two NATO troops in southern Afghanistan on Monday, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said, in what appeared to be the latest attack by rogue Afghan security forces on Western troops.

The attacker was shot dead by NATO force soldiers, the force said in a statement. It did not identify the two NATO soldiers or give their nationality.

The incident took place in Lashkar Gah in the southern Helmand province, an Afghan security source said.

So-called insider attacks have mounted in recent months as tension between Afghanistan and its foreign backers rises over a series of incidents including the burning of Korans at a NATO base and the killing of 17 villagers in southern Kandahar for which a U.S. soldier has been charged.

2. Accused of killing 17 civilians, go home

Accused of killing two of the occupying imperial troops, and you're dead. Interesting system we call "justice," no?

Over the weekend, I saw a couple of interviews with SSgt. Bales' attorney, who brought up one or two salient defense points, and I see this morning that his wife doesn't think he was involved at all. There will be a real concerted effort over the next several weeks to "understand" SSgt. Bales, and to get at the reasons and the circumstances. The unnamed corpse in Lashkar Gah will never receive such media treatment. He will pass into history as the "rogue Afghan soldier."

Any idea who these persons might be?

4. Why should they?

They are corrupt, did not invade our or the Brits' country, and it's our money anyway (multi-billions).
