One dead as Afghan soldiers open fire on Nato troops

Three Afghan army soldiers opened fire on Nato troops in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing one and wounding six, a security officials said. The shooting took place during a sports game at a joint military base in the southern province of Zabul. "One of the (Afghan) soliders was killed when coalition forces returned fire, but the other two fled," the official said.
The Nato-led military alliance confirmed one of its soldiers had died in a clash with Afghan army soldiers in Zabul, saying it had launched an investigation into the incident.
Nato troops have been training Afghan security forces ahead of a planned pullout. A classified document said in June attacks by Afghan troops on Nato soldiers were a "rapidly growing systemic threat" that could undermine the coalition's efforts to defeat the insurgency.
