NATO: 6 Service Members Killed in Afghanistan

A man dressed as an Afghan border police officer opened fire on NATO troops during a training mission in the east of the country Monday, killing six Americans before he was shot dead, NATO and Afghan officials said.

A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the victims were Americans. The official did not provide additional details.

The shooting -- the highest toll for NATO forces since nine Americans died in a Sept. 21 helicopter crash -- was the latest in a series of shootouts in which Afghan security forces have turned on their NATO partners.

The attack also highlights the potential hazards of a push to speedily expand Afghanistan's army and police forces in the next few years. The goal is to turn over the responsibility for nationwide security to Afghan forces by 2014 so that NATO troops can go home.
