| AUSTRALIAN Federal Police going to Afghanistan to help train their hard-pressed Afghan counterparts will be armed.
A federal police spokesman confirmed that the 10 members of the police mentoring team would carry service pistols.
They will be stationed with Australian and Dutch troops at Tarin Kowt in Oruzgan Province and if they move out "beyond the wire" of the heavily fortified base they will have a strong military escort.
On some previous deployments in risky situations, including their first operation in East Timor, Australian police have not carried weapons.
This Australian team will be stepping into dangerous territory. Members of the Afghan National Police are being killed or wounded by insurgents at the rate of three a day.
According to European police figures, about 1200 Afghan police were killed by insurgents in 2007. Last year 1196 were killed, 2167 were wounded and 162 were listed as missing.
