'Afghan policeman' kills Nato pair

A person wearing an Afghan police uniform has shot dead two Nato service members inside a compound in northern Afghanistan, a Nato spokesman said today.

The international military coalition said it is still investigating the incident in Faryab province but initial reports said the attacker fired the shots and fled the scene.

It was not immediately clear if the attacker was an Afghan police officer.

There have been incidents of both Afghan security forces turning on their Western counterparts and of insurgents donning uniforms to infiltrate bases and attack from the inside.
