Two coalition soldiers were shot dead by a man believed to be a member of the local police in southern Afghanistan on Saturday.

The incident is under investigation, NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said, but the coalition force refused to disclose the nationality of the victims.

"An individual believed to be an Afghan Local Police member turned his weapon against International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members in southern Afghanistan today, killing two," ISAF said.

The attacker was killed in return fire.

3. Could not agree more

We need to leave and let the Taliban loose. If these people can't stop killing us, let them see what it's like when the Taliban are in charge. Music will be banned again. Women that dare to go to school will be raped and killed. Religious minorities are going to be killed. It'll be terrible, but it appears to be what they want. Let them have it.
