Two US soldiers die in Afghan 'insider' hit

KABUL : Men in Afghan army uniforms turned their weapons on American forces in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing two US soldiers and wounding four others. An Afghan Interior Ministry official said the shooting took place in Kapisa province, just north of the capital, Kabul. The NATO-led coalition confirmed two foreign soldiers had been shot dead, but did not specify their nationality. Two US defence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both victims were Americans.
