Three US service members wounded in Afghanistan insider attack
By: Meghann Myers  
Three U.S. service members (not pictured) were wounded when an Afghan police officer fired on their convoy Monday.
The Taliban took credit for killing three troops in a green-on-blue attack Kandahar, Afghanistan, on Monday afternoon, but an U.S. Forces-Afghanistan spokesman fired back at the claims on Twitter, clarifying that the only injuries sustained were non-life threatening.
A defense official, who was not authorized to speak on the record, confirmed that all three wounded troops were Americans.
A member of the Afghan National Civil Order Police fired on a coalition convoy, Col. Sonny Leggett tweeted, without providing details about which coalition country they belonged to.
