Afghan Officer Kills 2 U.S. Soldiers 
-------------------------------------


 
Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Friday when a member of
the Afghan police force opened fire. It was the latest in a spate of
shootings by members of the Afghan forces against the U.S.-led NATO
occupation. A NATO spokesperson announced the attack.

Gunter Katz: "This morning in Farah province a member of the Afghan
local police shot two American soldiers, killed them, and the guy, the
shooter, has been killed as well. The investigation is still ongoing and
we have no findings yet, in terms of what the reason for this
insider-threat-incident was."
