Afghan National Police penetrated by Taliban at 'every level'

The Afghan National Police have been penetrated by the Taliban “at
every level” with officers poorly trained, corrupt and some addicted
to drugs, a former Army officer has said.

Capt Beattie, who has retired from the Army, said: "It is absolutely
right to say that the Afghan police are infiltrated by the Taliban at
every level, from the very lowest to the very highest."

The police officer who killed five British soldiers on Tuesday is
understood to have been in the police for at least two years. That
raises the possibility that he was paid to switch sides.

Capt Beattie said that many police officers happily switch sides for
money.
