Nato soldiers killed by Afghan 'policeman'

Two American soldiers from the Nato alliance were yesterday shot dead by an Afghan border policeman in the north of the country, military officials said.
Nato confirmed the deaths, the latest attack on international soldiers, and said it was investigating the incident which occurred inside a police compound while US military advisers were holding talks with a local colonel.
"According to initial reporting, an individual in an Afghan border police uniform fired on the ISAF members inside a compound," Nato said in a statement.
