WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Eight troops and a civilian contractor killed in a Kabul airport shooting yesterday were all Americans, a Pentagon spokesman said.
“The current information we have from ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) is that eight service members and one civilian were killed in the attack. … All U.S.,” said Colonel David Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman.
The troops and contractor were killed in a shooting incident involving an Afghan Air Force pilot at Kabul’s airport today, NATO said. It was one of the deadliest incidents of “rogue” Afghans turning their weapons on foreign soldiers.
