Afghan Police Officer Kills 6 American Service Members!
The Canadian Press - KABUL -An Afghan border police officer opened fire on U.S. troops during a training mission in the east of the country Monday, killing six American service members before he was shot dead, U.S. and Afghan officials said.
The shooter was wearing an Afghan border police uniform, NATO said, but did not provide additional details on how the shooting happened or his identity. A spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, Zemeri Bashary, confirmed that the gunman was a border police officer, rather than an insurgent who had donned the uniform to infiltrate government forces.
NATO declined to identify the nationalities of the victims, but a U.S. official said all six of the dead were American. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because next of kin had not yet been informed.
