AP: ISAF Under Reports Attacks By Afghan Soldiers and Police On U.S. And Coalition Troops | The Associated Press has learned that the U.S. led coalition forces in Afghanistan are under-reporting the number of times that Afghan soldiers and police open fire on American and coalition troops. In recent weeks, an Afghan soldier opened fire on a group of Americans and was shot to death by the Americans. The incident, which resulted in no injury to U.S. forces, was never reported by coalition authorities at the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), says the AP. ISAF also said nothing about an attack last week in which two Afghan policemen in Kandahar fired on U.S. soldiers, wounding two.
