Hundreds fired over Afghan insider attacks |

Hundreds fired over Afghan insider attacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The scale of attacks is unprecedented in modern warfare. Afghan personnel have opened fire on their NATO colleagues more than 30 times so far this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], killing at least 45 foreign troops - the majority of them American.
August was the worst month for so-called green-on-blue attacks in Afghanistan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with nearly one in three international coalition deaths caused by Afghan allies.
Three Australian soldiers - Lance Corporal Stjepan "Rick" Milosevic, Sapper James Martin and Private Robert Poate - were murdered by a rogue Afghan soldier at a base in Oruzgan province on August 29.
The shootings threaten to derail NATO's flagship strategy of training Afghan security forces to take over when the bulk of the 130,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 US-led foreign troops leave the country at the end of 2014.
US officials have expressed increasing concern over the attacks and Defence Secretary Leon Panetta last month called on Afghan President Hamid Karzai to crack down on them.
Defence ministry spokesman General Zahir Azimi said on Wednesday: "So far,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hundreds of people have either been arrested or expelled from the army. We have found evidence against some people and some suspicious people have been arrested."
When asked for further details,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Azimi gave no breakdown on precise numbers. Nor was it clear when the action was taken against the soldiers.
On Sunday, the US military announced that its special forces have suspended training for about 1000 Afghan police recruits to vet existing members.
Karzai's spokesman told AFP on the same day that the attacks were the "mutual responsibility" of both NATO and Afghan forces, and the president had ordered all Afghan forces to be re-vetted.
The top US military officer visited Afghanistan last month and said Afghan leaders appeared ready to take decisive action to curb the attacks.
General Martin Dempsey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it was the first time that Afghans were as concerned about the attacks as the Americans.
Azimi on Wednesday denied that NATO training for Afghan soldiers had been affected with the spokesman insisting it was still "going well",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He also stood behind the processes of recruitment and vetting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Good attention was paid during the recruitment process,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when some soldiers went on vacation and came back they became somehow problematic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
NATO has tried to play down the attacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying that they are carried out by a tiny proportion of the Afghan forces over cultural differences or personal disputes.
The alliance's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Wednesday spoke about the attacks by telephone with Karzai,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], voicing his concern and calling on the president "to join in" with preventive measures being taken by NATO.
Taliban insurgents claim responsibility for many of the attacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying their fighters have infiltrated the army and police.
Their reclusive supreme leader,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mullah Omar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has boasted that the attacks are the result of a deliberate plan to sow distrust between foreign and Afghan troops.
Azimi blamed "some regional intelligence agencies" - a euphemism that Afghan government officials often use in reference to Pakistani spymasters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have historically sponsored the Taliban.
But he said there were no foreigners among those soldiers arrested or dismissed.
An Afghan army officer in the restive eastern province of Paktika blamed Taliban infiltrators and poor treatment from US mentors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Most of our soldiers come from different provinces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are illiterate, and US mentors sometimes behave badly with them. That is why they turn their weapons at them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he told AFP on condition of anonymity.
August was the worst month for so-called green-on-blue attacks in Afghanistan, with nearly one in three international coalition deaths caused by Afghan allies.
