3 US troops wounded in insider attack by Afghan police
On Monday, an Afghan police officer staged an insider attack in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan, injuring three U.S. service members with “non-life-threatening injuries.”
In comments made by U.S. military spokesman, Army Col. Sonny Leggett and reported by Voices of America, a member of the Afghan Civil Order Police opened fire on a passing military convoy. The three U.S. service members were the only ones wounded in the attack.
“The attacker was killed by return fire from Resolute Support forces,” Leggett said.
Separately the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and falsely claimed that the U.S. service members were killed.
