US soldier shoots Afghan guard, say cops
An American soldier shot and killed an Afghan guard at a base in the country’s north, apparently because the American thought the guard was about to attack him, Afghan police said on Sunday. Friday’s shooting in Sari Pul province in northern Afghanistan resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, said Sayed Jahangir, the deputy police chief for the province. Afghans guard the outside perimeter of the base and Americans guard inside.
