| Soldier held after Kabul shooting |
| 2003-05-14 |
| An Afghan soldier has been arrested in the capital Kabul after international peacekeepers were fired upon. Two Norwegian soldiers with the International Security Force (Isaf) were shot and wounded in the attack. The assault took place in the northern part of the city when unidentified gunmen opened fire on a patrol, according to officials. Gunmen? I thought it was one guy? A soldier with the 8th Afghan army division - believed to be a former member of the Taleban - has been held in connection with the shooting. One of the soldiers is reported to have been seriously wounded in the incident and both men are recovering in hospital. They were travelling on the main road between Kabul and nearby Bagram airport shortly after midday when the attackers opened fire on their vehicle. Humm, guess there were more than the one guy. At least they caught him and are having a "talk". |
