Afghan National Police being trained by the US Army in Gardez, Afghanistan.
A sudden attack killing five British Soldiers and wounding five others yesterday has been attributed to the infiltration of the Taliban in the Afghan police force. The attack comes after last week's attacks on five UN election workers in Kabul. Investigators say the detailed information obtained to carry out the attack could only come from official sources. The Taliban have a presence at every level of the police force.
This shocking news comes at a time when Obama must decide whether to send 40,000 more troops into Afghanistan. With a corrupt government, Taliban infiltrations in the police force, Taliban attacks on UN workers and fighting across the border in Pakistan it hardly seems worthwhile or sensible. Yet, what will become of this nation if Nato troops pull out?
