A news that probably please neither Taliban nor US government.
SourceA US major-general has been killed in an attack by a man in Afghan military uniform at a British-run military academy near Kabul, US officials say.
Fifteen others have been injured. Half of them are thought to be Americans and they also include a German general.
Afghanistan's Ministry of Defence said the Afghan soldier was shot dead after he opened fire.
The major-general is the most senior international soldier killed since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
The BBC understands the shooting at Camp Qargha happened after a dispute broke out.
The attacker was a soldier who was recruited three years ago, Afghan defence ministry sources told the BBC.
Since there is no evidence suggesting this Afghan soldier is targeting the general nor whether the action is motivated by Taliban, we probably can say Taliban is not pleased to hear that a random war lunatic is more effective than religious nuts like themselves. On the other hand, I do wonder is this a common way to release stress in Afghanistan? Also would this event affect US strategy in Afghanistan?
