KABUL -- Five British soldiers were shot and killed Tuesday by an Afghan policeman while they were working together in southern Afghanistan, British officials said.
The shooting occurred in the Nad e-Ali district of Helmand province, one of the most violent parts of the country. The British soldiers were working with Afghan National Police at a checkpoint when one policeman opened fire, military officials said. The gunfire wounded six other British soldiers and two Afghan policemen. Officials said that the shooter fled the scene, but it was unclear if he had been arrested later.
