Afghanistan: Attacker in Afghan uniform kills US service member
A man wearing an Afghan army uniform shot dead a US service member in the east of the country, one of two NATO troops killed on Friday, military officials said. The Taliban took credit for the attack.
The shooting was the 15th incident this year in which Afghan soldiers or insurgents disguised in military uniforms have turned their weapons on foreign troops. Also Friday, the US-led military coalition offered condolences to the families of Afghan civilians who were killed in airstrikes earlier this month. (AP)
