An Afghan police officer, working with the Taliban, drugged 17 colleagues and shot them dead in the latest of a string of similar attacks in recent months. The killing occurred at a remote police outpost in the eastern province of Ghazni. Seven of the dead were new recruits still undergoing training. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. The killings increase tensions between coalition and Afghan forces who are trying to control the Taliban insurgency before most NATO troops withdraw by the end of 2014.
