Afghan soldier kills 2 US soldiers
Kabul - Arab Today
Two US soldiers were killed Saturday when an Afghan army solider opened fire on them in eastern Afghanistan, an Afghan official said.
Attahullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar province, said that two other US soldiers are wounded in the attack, which took place in the Achin district. He said the Afghan soldier was killed after the attack.
A statement from the US military said merely that the military was “aware of an incident in eastern Afghanistan.”
White House spokesman Raj Shah told reporters traveling with the President Donald Trump in New Jersey that Trump was “following the emerging situation in Afghanistan.”
Such insider attacks have happened before in Afghanistan. In March, another Afghan soldier was killed after he opened fire on foreign forces at a base in Helmand province, wounding three US soldiers.
