Afghan ‘Insider Attack’ Kills 2 US Soldiers, Wounds 6 (Update)

FOX News: Afghanistan 'insider attack' leaves 2 US soldiers dead, 6 wounded

Two U.S. soldiers were killed and six were wounded Saturday when American and Afghan troops were fired on during a mission in Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, U.S. officials told Fox News.

The casualties occurred when an Afghan wearing an army uniform suddenly opened fire, The Associated Press reported.

The U.S. military has not officially called the incident an "insider attack," because the motive remains unclear and the shooter “was not one of the soldiers on the patrol,” a U.S. defense official told Fox News.

Such attacks have been frequent occurrences in the nearly two decades U.S. troops have been deployed in the country. In 2012, for example, 25 percent of American military deaths in Afghanistan were caused by allied Afghan forces, military officials have said.

The Taliban seized a district headquarters in Afghanistan's Helmand province on Monday despite U.S. air strikes to repel them, and two NATO soldiers were shot dead by uniformed men on an army base in the area, a stronghold for militants and opium.
