According to the source, the infiltrator has poisoned their food first and after the shooting has stolen their weapons and burned the checkpoint and a police vehicle in collaboration with the presumed Taliban allies.
The Taliban have not claimed responsibility for the attack, but Gulam Sakhi Rogh liwanai provincial police chief has confirmed the report.
