A man believed to be a local Afghan police officer shot and killed two NATO troops on Saturday, the coalition said in a statement.Wow.
The "insider" attack on the two soldiers occurred in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, Fox News confirmed. NATO reported that another service member returned fire, killing the gunman.
The shooting Saturday came a day after insurgents in the same region stormed a sprawling British base, killing two U.S. Marines and wounding several other international troops in an attack inspired by an anti-Islam film produced in the United States and the presence on the compound of a high-profile target, Britain's Prince Harry.
NATO would not say if the gunman was a bonafide Afghan policeman or an insurgent who infiltrated the force.
Just fucking wow.
