(Reuters) – Men in Afghan army uniforms turned their weapons on American forces in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing two U.S. soldiers and wounding four others, officials said.
An Afghan Interior Ministry official said the shooting took place in Kapisa province, just north of the capital, Kabul.
The NATO-led coalition confirmed two foreign soldiers had been shot dead, but did not specify their nationality.
Two U.S. defense officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both victims were Americans.
Four American soldiers were also wounded, one of the U.S. officials said.
