Afghanistan: US service member killed in 'apparent insider attack'
Source: Reuters
A member of the US armed forces was killed and another was wounded on Saturday in an apparent insider attack in the Afghan capital Kabul, the Nato-led Resolute Support mission said.
The attack is the latest in a series of “green-on-blue” attacks in which members of the Afghan forces have killed US or coalition advisers this year and follows the death of a Czech soldier in the western province of Herat last month.
“Initial reports indicate the attacker was a member of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces,” the Nato-led mission said in a statement. “Initial reports also indicate the attacker was immediately killed by other Afghan forces.”
It said the incident was being investigated and the wounded service member was in a stable condition, but did not release the identity of the service member who was killed.
