Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that three British Soldiers died Today after being attacked by a member of the Afghan National Army, the Soldiers came from the “ 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 317 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 279 in combat action and 38 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. This is the SECOND time this has happened with Afghan Security Forces, our troops should be allowed to take preventive action should they consider they are under a threat from the Afghan Army or Police.
