Gunmen in Afghan Police Uniforms Kill 2 NATO Soldiers -- New York Times
KABUL, Afghanistan — A day after an assailant wearing an Afghan Army uniform killed an American soldier in eastern Afghanistan, two insurgents dressed in Afghan police uniforms on Saturday shot and killed two coalition soldiers in the south of the country, NATO said.
NATO did not confirm the nationality of those killed. But a spokesman for the governor of Helmand Province said that the attack took place in the Gereshk district of Helmand Province, and that those attacked were British soldiers. The spokesman, Dawoud Ahmadi, said two attackers in national Afghan police uniforms opened fire on NATO troops on a highway at a checkpoint near a base where British forces are stationed.
As the attackers tried to escape, Afghan police officers chased them and killed one, but the second attacker escaped, he said.
