3 US Soldiers Killed in Afghan Insider Attack

KABUL. Afghanistan — Three U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Saturday when a man in an Afghan army uniform turned his weapon on them in the eastern province of Paktika, a provincial government spokesman said.
Also on Saturday, an Italian soldier was killed and three were wounded when a child threw a grenade at a NATO convoy in the western province of Farah, a spokesman for the governor and a Taliban spokesman said.
 
So-called insider attacks by Afghan soldiers on their NATO-force allies have become an increasing problem over the past year or so, threatening to undermine already waning support for the war in Western nations sending troops.
 
Last year, a surge in such attacks prompted NATO to temporarily curtail some joint operations with Afghan government forces.
 
The Paktika provincial governor's spokesman, Mukhlas Afghan, said an Afghan soldier had killed three American soldiers. Afghanistan's NATO-led forces said three of its soldiers had been killed by a man in an Afghan army uniform but did not give nationalities.
 
Insider attacks accounted for one in every five combat deaths suffered by NATO-led forces in Afghanistan and 16 percent of all American combat casualties, according to 2012 data.
 
The toll has alarmed Afghanistan's Western allies and raised troubling questions about the unpopular war's direction as most international forces prepare to withdraw by the end of next year.
 
"A brave, heroic 11-year-old Afghan child hurled a hand grenade at dismounted Italian troops in Farah city," the Taliban said in an English-language statement.
 
The four deaths on Saturday bring to 16 the number of international troops killed in Afghanistan this month, and come two days after seven Georgian soldiers were killed in a suicide car-bomb attack in the southern province of Helmand.

Too much of this going on.  Nasty Taliban infiltrations.  Due to lack of decent leadership and apparent weaknesses in vetting and security, I think it's time to wrap this up.

R.I.P. brave troops and prayers up for their loved ones.

Don not wait to. There was not the shadow of the wall and another shade of eye gaze, we don not go Nvragr not find the light went shadow Nnvr.
