| 2010-08-25 |
| An Afghan police recruit has shot dead two Spanish police officers and their interpreter in Badghis province, north-western Afghanistan, officials say. The assailant opened fire during a training session in a premeditated attack, according to Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba. Security forces returned fire and killed the police recruit. The Taliban says the cadet was working for them, but the militant claims could not be verified. The BBC's Quentin Sommerville in the capital, Kabul, says hundreds of men attacked the base shouting and throwing stones. Some attempted to scale the walls and shots were also fired, our correspondent says. The protest has now ended, and a local hospital spokesman said 24 people had been injured - some with bullet wounds. Video at the link of the Rage Boys™ doing their Rage Boy™ thing... |
