KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan soldier opened fire on U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Wednesday, wounding three before he was shot dead by American troops, an official and an eyewitness said.

 

The incident happened after a meeting between Afghan provincial leaders and a U.S. Embassy official in the compound of the provincial governor in the city of Jalalabad, according to Gen. Fazel Ahmad Sherzad.

 

U.S. officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

 

It is the second insider attack this year. An Afghan soldier killed three American contractors on January 29. The shooter was also killed in that incident.
