Afghan soldier kills three British troops

A ROGUE Afghan soldier attacked his coalition allies with a rocket-propelled grenade and other weapons yesterday, killing three British troops and wounding four more before fleeing, officials said.

British prime minister David Cameron condemned the killings as “appalling” but insisted the incident should not change the strategy of working alongside the Afghan army.

It was the second time in eight months that an Afghan turned against British troops partnering with local security forces.
