Your support makes all the difference.Six Nato troops were shot dead by a man wearing an Afghan border police uniform during a training exercise in Nangarhar province in the east of the country yesterday. Most Nato troops in that area are American.
The incident appeared to be the latest in a run of attacks by renegade police and soldiers, underlining the pressure on Nato-led troops as they try to train Afghan forces for a handover of security from next year.
But officials were unable to confirm whether the gunman was a member of the border police or an infiltrator.
