A man in Afghan military uniform shot dead one NATO soldier in eastern Afghanistan, Xinhua reported on Sunday, citing a statement by the coalition forces. ‘An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service member was killed today when an individual wearing an ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces) uniform shot the ISAF service member in eastern Afghanistan,’ the NATO-led ISAF said in a statement. ‘(The) ISAF and ANSF have secured the scene. ISAF and ANSF forces are conducting an investigation, and more details will be released as appropriate,’ it noted. If the attacker is confirmed to be a member of the ANSF, the incident will be the latest in the so-called ‘green on blue’ insider attack when the Afghan army or police turned their weapons against their foreign partners. More than 14 foreign soldiers have been killed in 10 such attacks since January.
