On Monday, a U.S. soldier was killed by a local Afghan police officer, and two British soldiers were shot dead by an Afghan soldier. Gen. John Allen, the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, said such killings will likely continue.
Gen. John Allen: “We experienced these in Iraq, we experienced them in Vietnam. And on any occasion where you’re dealing with an insurgency and where you’re also growing an indigenous force, which ultimately will be the principal opposition to that insurgency, the enemy’s going to do all that they can to disrupt both the counterinsurgency operations, but also disrupt the integrity of the indigenous forces that developed.”
