US Troops Killed In Afghan 'Insider Attack' -- BBC

Several US and Afghan commandos have been shot dead in a so-called insider attack, US and Afghan sources say.

Several others were wounded in the attack at a remote military base in Wardak province, not far from Kabul.

The US military called the attack a "betrayal". The killer - a member of the Afghan security forces - was shot dead at the scene.

Last year more than 60 Nato troops were killed by Afghan security personnel or insurgents posing as them.

Two US soldiers were among those killed, the US military said.
