And in the shitty little war over there
Another Afghan has turned on the Americans that were supposed to train him and killed 9 of them.
A statement issued by the U.S.-led NATO coalition said authorities “received notification of small-arms fire” and sent a quick-reaction force to respond. Eight NATO service members and one contractor were killed, according to the statement.Curiously there is no mention in reports of the fate of the shooter. Was he killed, captured or did he get away?
In accordance with its policy, NATO did not release the nationalities of the dead. But U.S. officials later confirmed that all nine of those killed were Americans. The service branches of the slain troops were not immediately specified.
An Afghan air force general said that after he heard the gunfire on the compound, his offices were locked down for hours as both American and Afghan troops converged on the scene.
He said the pilot who opened fire was believed to have been in the air force for 20 years
