On 7/20/10, Two US civilians were shot dead by an Afghan soldier in northern Afghanistan today.



Coalition forces have been involved in a major push to train up their Afghan counterparts, but the shooting, involving an Afghan Army trainer at a weapons training area near Mazar-e-Sharif, highlights the difficulties faced by foreign troops.
