Rogue Afghan cop kills 4 of his colleagues

Four Afghan policemen were killed and another seven wounded when one of their colleagues opened fire on them in the volatile southern province of Kandahar, an official said on Thursday.
The rogue policeman was shot dead by another officer in the incident late Wednesday night, said Zia Durrani, spokesman for the provincial police.
The shootings, which took place in the Zhari district, are the latest in a string of recent insider attacks in Afghanistan. Last month a rogue cop in Uruzgan province shot dead 10
colleagues.
The Taliban consider Kandahar their heartland, along with neighboring Helmand where poppy production accounts for most of the world’s heroin.
