KABUL, Afghanistan — Four international service members were killed early Sunday near a remote NATO installation in southern Afghanistan when a member of the Afghan security forces opened fire on them, a coalition spokesman said.
The deaths at a remote checkpoint in Zabul province marked an escalation of so-called insider attacks on foreign troops here that coincide with Muslim rage worldwide over a film that defames the Islamic prophet Muhammad. On Saturday, an Afghan gunman thought to belong to the local police killed two British soldiers in southern Helmand province.
The six casualties brought to 51 the number of coalition forces killed by their Afghan partners this year, most of them Americans. The insider attacks underscored the continued vulnerability of international troops despite intense efforts by U.S. and Afghan leaders to stem the killings.
A senior official in Zabul province said a group of men wearing the uniforms of the Afghan National Police – a component of the country’s 352,000-member security forces -- were involved in the pre-dawn Sunday incident in the Mizan district, which also wounded several other international troops. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said he believed that the four victims were American troops.
