Two more good Americans brutally murdered for nothing. This time by Afghan Police Officers. Afghan Police and Military murdering our Soldiers? What an awful mess. So much Blood & Treasure being wasted.
Afghanistan NATO officers shot dead in Kabul ministry.
The International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said an "individual" had turned his gun on the officers. Afghan security officials said those killed were an American Colonel and Major. Local media reports suggest the incident followed a "verbal clash". The incident comes amid five days of deadly protests over the burning of copies of the Koran by US soldiers.
The interior ministry was put in lock-down after the shootings, officials said. "An individual turned his weapon against International Security Assistance Force service members in Kabul city today," an Isaf statement said. The BBC's Orla Guerin in Kabul says reports indicate the gunman was not a Westerner. She says eight shots were reported inside the building, which should be one of the safest in the capital, and that any Afghan who carried out the attack would have to have had the highest clearance.
Local media reports said the gunman was an Afghan policeman but this has not been confirmed.
Isaf spokesman Brig Gen Carsten Jacobson told the BBC that NATO could not yet confirm the identity of those killed.
