Two Gurkhas have been killed in Afghanistan by a man wearing an Afghan police uniform in what appears to be the latest "green-on-blue" attack.
The soldiers, from the 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, were shot dead at a checkpoint in Nahr e Saraj, Helmand province.
Their deaths bring the number of British service personnel killed by Afghan soldiers or police to 11 this year, compared to just one in 2011 and three in 2010.
