KABUL, Afghanistan ? An Afghan soldier shot and killed four NATO troops in eastern Afghanistan on Friday, the U.S.-led coalition said. The shooting underscores the fragile relationship between Afghan and foreign troops who are partnered across the nation.
NATO said in a statement that the suspected shooter had been apprehended, but disclosed no details about the incident.
The nationalities of the troops killed were not released. Troops from several nations, including the U.S. and France, are deployed in eastern Afghanistan.
Similar attacks have raised fears of increased Taliban infiltration of the Afghan police and army as NATO speeds up the training of the security forces. In some cases the attackers were Afghan soldiers who turned on NATO troops. Others involved insurgents dressed in Afghan uniforms.
Earlier this month, a U.S. troop was killed when a man in an Afghan army uniform opened fire at a base in the south of the country.
In one of the worst incidents, a veteran Afghan military pilot opened fire at Kabul airport on April 27, 2011, killing eight U.S. troops and an American civilian contractor.
