MISJA WOJSK ISAF W AFGANISTANIE – ZAGROŻENIA TYPU „GREEN ON BLUE”
THE ISAF MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN – THE DANGER OF ‘GREEN ON BLUE’ ATTACKS

Summary/Abstract: The terrorist attacks in New York on 11th September 2001 resulted in a new method of armed conflict which was asymmetric in character, on this occasion in Afghanistan. The ISAF faced the Taliban – a rival who had an advantage because of local knowledge and help from some of the neighbouring countries, such as Pakistan, and international terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda. The Taliban maintained surveillance on the ANSF which supported ISAF. As a result, attacks described as green on blue happened which were caused also by a conflict of a cultural and religious basis between Afghan soldiers and ISAF soldiers. Due to its unpre-dictability and the impossibility of stating its area and time, they became one of the biggest dangers for ISAF soldiers during that difficult mission.
