Seven NATO troops killed in bloody Afghan attacks
May 05, 2013
KANDAHAR: A roadside bomb killed five US troops Saturday in Afghanistan and two other NATO soldiers were shot dead in an "insider attack", a week after the Taliban launched their spring offensive.

The bomb killed five soldiers in a vehicle in the southern province of Kandahar, local police said, while the two other NATO troops were killed by an Afghan army soldier in the far west of the country.

The nationalities of the two who died in the insider attack was not disclosed by NATO's International Security Assistance Force, in line with coalition policy.

Akram Khpalwak, governor of Farah province, told AFP that an Afghan soldier had opened fire in the Bala Buluk district of Farah, but he was unable to give further details.

General Abdul Razeq, police chief in Kandahar, said that "five American soldiers were killed at about noon when their armoured vehicle hit a powerful roadside mine in Maiwand district."

NATO-led soldiers are fighting alongside Afghan colleagues to thwart Taliban militants, but more than 60 foreign soldiers were killed in 2012 in insider attacks that have bred fierce mistrust between allies.

The last suspected incident was on March 11 when two US soldiers were killed and 10 wounded in Wardak province by a man in Afghan army uniform who also killed several Afghan soldiers.

The Taliban vowed a spate of insider attacks when they launched their spring offensive a week ago, but NATO says that most such shootings stem from personal grudges and cultural misunderstandings rather than militant plots. (AFP)

I don't understand this though, the Taliban are at war with NATO troops so what do you mean they are coward and getting more aggressive? Aren't they supposed to attack those at war with them?

Same thing happened to the Soviet Union. Look at where the Soviets are now.

Why do you hate them so much? What did they do to you? Do you not realize foreign soldiers are not welcome in their country?

And why do you speak French while you have a British symbol (the lion) in your avatar?

you want to talk down on Quebecois, guess what quebec will always remain part of Canada and Queen will continue to be our national symbol and I am proud of speak both offical langue louis francaise and english plus learning some urdu to know about my partial heritage and some cantonese in the future too (Canada is 10% chine so it is basically our third langue, traditional character very fun ) .
The british enslaved the french post battle of abraham but eventually Canada got independance from monarchy but we still want to be loyal to them as a symbol. Also my friend these talibuns provided support and gave alqieda place operate their 9/11 plot and the heinous aftermath of that attack and I think china people can understand terrorist attacks as you folks experienced some in the past.

I know right, some kind of severe disgusting hatred in themselves, what's even worse is that they started the war too.

First of all watch us allies keep kicking these terroriste to the curb and the allies(the world) will continue our war on these rabid chiens until they are sent to the afterlife!

Shaddup and go to bed, your allies are behind the worst major wars in which the most injustices are committed. Take your weapons home and get out of their business. It's not right to interfere in people's nations.
