Since last year, attacks by Afghan soldiers on their allies in the NATO-run ISAF force have become a serious problem, threatening to further undermine waning support for the war among Western nations sending troops here.

"Three International Security Assistance Force service members died when an individual wearing an Afghan National Security Forces uniform shot them in eastern Afghanistan today," ISAF said in a statement.

A US defence official confirmed to the AFP news agency that the three victims were from the United Sates.

US forces provide the bulk of ISAF troops in the east. The attack was the seventh reported insider attack this year, and 12 ISAF personnel have been killed.

Op-ed: Tired of running the world, America will slowly leave Middle East – and Israel – behind

America is tired of being the world's policeman, not to mention the fact that in its eyes this not so distinguished role carries a heavy price: From its performance as a policeman in Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, it sees coffins covered with an American flag travelling down a conveyor belt at the Air Force Base in Delaware. The use of a conveyor belt means that there are not just one or two coffins coming down, and one hint does not suffice. That, of course, contradicts an opinion we so like to spread: That the Americans (and Arab countries too) are insensitive towards their victims.

2 NATO troops killed; Afghan intel official assassinated

Updated 6:20 a.m. ET
KABUL, Afghanistan Gunmen in northern Afghanistan assassinated a district intelligence chief while he was on his way to work Monday as authorities in Romania said two of their soldiers serving with NATO died in a roadside bombing in the east.
In the north, attackers ambushed the district official, Abdul Hussian, and sprayed his body with bullets as he was riding on his motorcycle near the city of Kunduz, the capital of the province with the same name, according to local police chief, Ghulam Mohayuddin.
Hussian, who was heading to his work in Chardara district died of his wounds, said the police chief. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, and Mohayuddin said an investigation was under way.
The Taliban have been behind scores of similar attacks, especially since they stepped up assaults on officials and government employees during their spring offensive this year.
In Bucharest, the defense ministry said two Romanian soldiers died after stepping on an improvised explosive device during a patrol in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday. The two were transported by helicopter to a military hospital at Bagram, where they died of their injuries later in the day.

In Kabul, NATO only said that a roadside bombing killed two international service members in the east on Sunday but gave no details on their nationality or mention any other troops dying in the attack.


On Saturday, three American soldiers were killed by an Afghan wearing a security forces uniform after he turned his weapon against them in Paktia province, another apparent attack by a member of the Afghan forces against their international allies.

No, MSM can't do headlines like you alluded to:

Man wearing Afghan soldier's uniform kills man wearing NATO soldier's uniform

This headline would make more sense --MAN IN STATE SPONSORED MURDERERS UNIFORM GETS KILLED BY ANOTHER MAN IN A STATE SPOSORED MUDERERS UNIFORM BEFORE HE CAN KILL THE OTHER MUDERER OR THEIR FAMILY.
