France has suspended its training programmes for Afghan troops after an Afghan army soldier opened fire in eastern part of the country, killing four French soldiers, according to both NATO and Afghan accounts.

Sixteen more members of the French armed forces were injured in Friday's shooting, in the Tagab district of Kapisa province, north of the capital Kabul, a security official told the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity.

The attack took place inside the base during a training session conducted by French forces.

  • @French4thcommando Sigh you're an pathetic idiot who say a bunch of nonsense for his cheap pride. I hate both France and USA and i don't need to move to USA and become American Republican. Nobody tell you perceive a gibberish like people who hate France is need to move to USA and become American Republican. Youre ignorant and idiot, get lost and don't make me waste my time you dick sucking stupid transvestite Nigger.

    Also remind that we Turks humiliate France in Turkish War of Independence :)

  • because i don't believe in war i am a Christian i am merely shedding some light on other factors why countries go to war not just oil and power but one key factor is that countries send troops to combat is to gain experience ,on of the reasons i believe Russia fought Georgia because they knew their forces were being left out to dry

  • @555gypsie - then why don't you sign up and go fight? All you chair-commandos sitting in your parent's basement wearing only soiled underwear, you seem to have the answer to everything. If not, make yourself useful and mow your father's lawn.

  • @immortaltendency Your anti-French hatred is the reason why you should become an American Republican, you dumb inbred ball-sucker. Maybe when you pull the racist bug out of your ass and stop giving your boyfriend the reach-around you'll see things more clearly, byt fraankly I see no hope for you. You're typical, so go back and suck dick you f-ing transvestite, it the only thing you're obviously good at.

  • @French4thcommando You uneducated stupid donkey shit learn that Viet Minh defeated the France asshole in First indochina war. I say fact that Viet Minh defeated the France in First indochina war and you say you should move to America and become a republican to me for this? It is you here who need to move to America and become a republican, you'll fit right in those stupid dedections.

  • this is why the Afghans were such a hard nut to crack because they were born fighting all their life's everyday and our boys were fresh out of training .The French were opposed to the war in the start then they realised it is a matter of security for their country having a army with no experience they could easy be conquered by anyone

  • all this French support is obviously some deal is in it for them with America but really America didn't need to bribe them. because the French would of joined blindly sooner or later. because it is a matter of defence security that the army needs some real life experience in the battlefield otherwise having an army with no experience is like having a gun with no bullets every nation now is using Afghanistan to sharpen their forces special forces are only created by experience in war

  • @immortaltendency You should move to America and become a Republican....you'll fit right in with those views.
