Afghan Security Services Kill Three Foreign Soldiers 
-----------------------------------------------------



On Monday a U.S. soldier was killed by a local Afghan police officer and
two British soldiers were shot dead by an Afghan soldier. Gen. John
Allen, the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, said such killings
will likely continue.

Gen. John Allen: "We experienced these in Iraq, we experienced them in
Vietnam. And — and on any occasion where you're dealing with an
insurgency and where you're also growing an indigenous force, which will
ultimately be the principal opposition to that insurgency, the enemy's
going to do all that they can to disrupt both the counterinsurgency
operations, but also disrupt the integrity of the indigenous forces that
develop."
