LONDON --
Five British soldiers have been shot dead in Helmand Province, in an attack the UK military blamed on a "rogue" Afghan policeman, the BBC reports.
The soldiers had been mentoring and living with the Afghan police in a compound.
The officer opened fire, injuring several other troops, before fleeing.
A total of 92 UK troops have now been killed this year, the highest in any year since the Falklands War in 1982.
