Spain's Prince Felipe (R) and Princess Letizia preside at a funeral ceremony for the two Spanish Civil Guards who were killed in Afghanistan during a ceremony at their barracks in Logrono, northern Spain, August 26, 2010. The two Spanish Civil Guards and their interpreter were killed during a police training exercise at the Spanish-run base in Qalay-e Naw, the provincial capital of northwestern Badghis province on Wednesday, when an Afghan policeman they were training turned on them before he was shot dead, officials said. The incident appeared to be the latest in a string of recent attacks by rogue police and soldiers, underlining the pressure as NATO-led troops try to train Afghan forces rapidly to allow the handover of security responsibility to begin from mid-2011.
