Three Grenadier Guards and two Royal Military Police were killed as they rested in a compound after passing through a police checkpoint. The incident is the single biggest loss of life in a gun battle since British forces began operations in 2001.
The soldiers, who had removed their body armour and helmets, were shot by an Afghan national policeman who then fled. It is not known whether he was a member of the Taliban or being coerced by the insurgents.
