US Soldiers Killed By Afghan Troops?

May 7th, 2007 by xformed

Not good news, and a reminder why GTMO should stay open….

Two US Service Members Killed Outside Kabul Prison.

I picked this up on Caos’ Blog and pulled the above link from CENTCOM’s site.

It sounds as though a COL and SGT were killed by Afghan National Army troops, during a prisoner transfer, where Taliban detainees from GTMO were being brought to the prison at Pulacharke.

The shooters apparently ran off after the killings, so I suspect they were moles, as the report says there were other Afghan soldiers ran to the aid of the killed and wounded (2) US soldiers.

A Google search didn’t find this news. It is clearly listed by CENTCOM.

Tracked back @: Cao’s Blog
