A number of US troops have been injured when an Afghan soldier opened fire at their convoy in Khost province, the third such accident in less than two months.
Local officials in eastern Afghanistan announced on Sunday that an Afghan soldier opened fire on a US convoy injuring several US troops late Saturday, IRNA reported.
The officials who wanted to remain unnamed added that the Afghan soldier was also injured during the incident. However, it was not clear whether he was shot by the US soldiers or himself.
This is the third time such an accident has happened in the past two months. Earlier in November, an Afghan policeman opened fire on British soldiers in the volatile southern province of Helmand, killing five of them.
The incident came almost exactly a month after an Afghan policeman on patrol with US soldiers opened fire on the Americans, killing two before fleeing.
“This is the third time such an accident...” ACCIDENT!? It seems that these muzzis accomplished their goals. Accident, my a**.
I hope our troops didn’t fire back. That would make their CIC very, very angry.
Yes. not a good choice, may be something was lost in translation, should be, “incident”
(Sorry...I'm in a bad mood after last night's senate vote. And it doesn't look like my mood will get better any time soon.)
And now we are training militia—how will our troops know who to trust?
The latest update is that one US soldier was injured.
The latest update is that one US soldier was injured.
The same way the British, the Russians, and even Afghanis know who to trust.
You trust no one when dealing with Afghanis. That is the lesson of history. Sekundar Burnes would agree.
Obamessiah will tell our troops who to trust.
You are right who ever pays gets their allegiance every payday.
Was the shooter Moslem?


You can only trust dead Muslims. Let God sort them out.
As 99% of Afghans are Muslim I imagine that is the case.
See tag line.
Accident? I guess the Fort Hood thing was just an “accident” too?
I would hate for one of our troops to “accidently” blow their brains out. They are obviously traitors and are infiltrating the Afghan Police/Military.
They have a lot of nerve calling it an “accident.”
What was his motive? stress? lack of sex? unfair treatment by gringo?
