An Afghan soldier was responsible for the killing of two
American troops a day earlier, an official told AFP Tuesday, in what appears to be the latest example of an insider attack.
The US military on Monday said two of its troops had been killed in action in
Afghanistan, but did not provide any additional details, pending notification of next of kin.
Mohammad Qasam, a deputy
police chief in Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, said the attack took place at an Afghan army base during a visit by US forces.
