Afghan policemen forced to sell their weapons due to lack of salary

In Afghanistan police have started to sell their weapons, ammunition and uniforms to the locals and militants of the "Taliban" movement, because of many months of delays of salary, Afghan Hama Press agency reports.
According to the agency, in Wardak, Logar and Ghazni provinces the personnel of the Local Police of Afghanistan (ALP, Afghan Local Police) have received salary for more than three months already. Many of the law enforcement officers that were previously on the content of the Afghan government and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), are forced to sell their personal weapons. Often, the buyers come from the local population, but sometimes the arms, ammunition and uniforms are transmitted directly to the militants of "Taliban" movement.
