KABUL — Two American service members were killed Wednesday in an apparent “insider” attack by an Afghan soldier at a military base in Afghanistan’s southwestern Helmand province, U.S. and Afghan officials reported.
In another development in Helmand, Taliban insurgents captured the province’s Musa Qala district after a clash with Afghan government forces, local officials said. They said 25 members of the security forces were killed in the fighting in the northern part of the province.
