This comes as a policeman killed his 8 comrades in a similar attack in a check post located on Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....

There have been a considerable rise in the number of insider attacks during the recent months which comes amid deteriorating security situation as a result of the Taliban-led insurgency.

A policeman killed three of his comrades in eastern Laghman province of Afghanistan nearly a month ago, while earlier, at least seven coppers were killed in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan in a similar attack.
