France suspends operations in Afghanistan after Afghan soldier kills 4 troops

By BNO News

PARIS/KABUL (BNO NEWS) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday partly suspended French operations in Afghanistan after four of its service members were shot dead by a rogue Afghan soldier. Sarkozy is also considering to withdraw French troops from the country.

The attack happened on early Friday morning when a group of French soldiers were performing physical workout at a military base in the Tagab district of Kapisa province. The group of soldiers, who were not carrying weapons, were suddenly attacked by an Afghan soldier who was armed with an automatic weapon.

The French Ministry of Defense said the shooting left four French soldiers killed and 16 others injured, including eight soldiers who were seriously injured. "French and U.S. helicopters immediately took off to evacuate the injured," the Defense ministry said, adding that the victims were taken to a French military hospital in Kabul and a U.S. military hospital at Bagram Airfield.

The attacker, a non-commissioned officer, attempted to flee the scene but was quickly arrested by French soldiers.

The French government was outraged by the attack, the latest in a series of incidents in which Afghan soldiers turned their weapons on coalition service members. Sarkozy immediately announced the suspension of training and assistance to Afghan forces and sent Defense Minister Gerard Longuet to the country to evaluate the situation on the ground and meet with Afghan leaders.

"The French army is in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people in their fight against terrorism and against the Taliban," Sarkozy said during a press conference. "The French army is not in Afghanistan to be shot at by Afghan soldiers. We are friends of Afghanistan, we are allies of the Afghan people, but I can't accept Afghan soldiers opening fire on French soldiers."

As a result of the incident, coming just weeks after another rogue Afghan soldier killed two French troops, Sarkozy said he would consider accelerating the withdrawal of his country's troops from Afghanistan. France currently has nearly 4,000 service members which are based in eastern Afghanistan. A total of 82 French soldiers have died since the U.S.-led war began in 2001.

Asked about Sarkozy's comments, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said France is a 'valued member' of the NATO-led coalition. "I don’t want to get ahead of any discussions or decision that France might make with regard to its presence as part of that coalition," he said. "We believe the mission in Afghanistan is very important. The coalition is very important."

This is what the Jews, Americans and RAW have been doing to the world’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian for the past 35 years:-

“India’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of [and interference with] communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India’s RAW and India’s C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media — to keep India poor, weak and enslaved” and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States. See ThisIsWhatTheJewsHaveBeenDoingDOTblogspotDOTcom .

Other points:-

1) The Americans have invaded and occupied Afghanistan — a part of traditional India — and will expand their occupation to the rest of the subcontinent. Their invasion of Afghanistan alone requires the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States as do their crimes against India and the greatest living Indian keeping India poor, weak and enslaved.

2) All terrorism and separatism in the Indian subcontinent is sponsored by the CIA via intelligence agencies in the region including India’s RAW.

3) Indians as a rule are inferior Indian niggers unfit to talk about strategic matters as their long history of subjugation to foreign invaders shows. Americans patronisingly talk of India ‘having a role’ in Afghanistan at the pleasure of the invaders from half-way around the world.

4) The Indian Army and Air Force are worthless for destroying India’s number one enemy — the United States. Everyone in New Delhi is a collaborator with the enemy. The Indian Army chief is working on a Ph.D. thesis on ‘The security implications of the rise of fundamentalism in Afghanistan’; this nigger-shit is not worried about the security implications of the American invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and partial occupation of Pakistan — both of which are part of traditional India.

5) Only Satish Chandra can abolish poverty and make India the supreme power in the world immediately; see AMagicalSolutionToPovertyDOTblogspotDOTcom and my blog ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’. This will be done by the simultaneous nuclear destruction of New Delhi, Washington and New York now. Five years later the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States will be carried out.
