In yet another suspected green-on-blue attack, attackers dressed as Afghan police killed four coalition troops early Sunday in southern Afghanistan, a spokesman with NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said.<\/B><\/p>\n

ISAF spokesman James Graybeal didn’t offer more details, beyond saying that the troops died “following an insider attack involving Afghan police.”<\/B><\/p>\n

Such an assault is the latest in a series of incidents in which members of Afghan security forces have been suspected of turning their weapons on coalition or Afghan soldiers.<\/p>\n

And violence has been particularly rife in southern Afghanistan, which is considered the Taliban heartland, since a U.S.-led force first went into the country after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.<\/B><\/p>\n

This includes two deaths in the south of Helmand province’s Nahr-e Saraj district announced Saturday by the British Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n

In that attack, a man wearing an Afghan police uniform fatally shot two members of the 3rd Battalion at a checkpoint, according to Maj.<\/B> Laurence Roche, a spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said in a statement released by the British defense ministry.<\/p>\n

This occurred the same day that another British soldier died in in a separate incident in Nahr-e Saraj, according to the UK defense ministry. This troop was killed when the vehicle in which he was riding in struck a bomb.<\/B><\/p>\n
