Gunman in Afghan army uniform kills 2 NATO soldiers
2012-03-26
A gunman wearing an Afghan army uniform killed two NATO troops in southern Helmand province on Monday.

In a statement, NATO's International Security Assistance force said, "The individual who opened fire was killed when coalition forces returned fire." It did not identify the two NATO soldiers or give their nationality.

The incident took place in Lashkar Gah and will be investigated by a joint Afghan-NATO team. The Lashkar Gah base is dominated by British forces and a NATO official said the two victims were British soldiers. Britain's Ministry of Defense said it was aware of the incident, but refused to release any more details or confirm whether the soldiers were British.
Did they catch the 'gunman' alive? Will the Afghans put him on trial? Will the Afghan government pay compensation to the families of the dead NATO troops?
